Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Additions

  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional)
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Blend the Base: Place the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender and blend until silky smooth to achieve the creamy texture that mimics brownie batter.
  2. Add Cocoa and Sweeteners: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Blend again until all ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Incorporate Protein Powder and Salt: If using protein powder, add it now along with a pinch of salt. Blend just until uniform, being careful not to over-blend to maintain creaminess.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in dark chocolate chips or chunks by hand to preserve their texture and add chocolate bursts.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the texture to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Choose full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture similar to real brownie batter.
  • For extra smoothness, strain the cottage cheese through a fine mesh sieve before blending.
  • Do not skip chilling; refrigeration enhances the flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey to suit your taste.
  • Experiment with different types of cocoa powder, such as Dutch-processed or natural, for subtle flavor differences.
