Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cottage cheese
- ⅓ cup (80 milliliters) creamy unsalted peanut butter
- ⅓ cup (113 grams) honey
Toppings:
- ⅓ cup (57 grams) chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup (50 grams) peanuts, chopped
Instructions
- Combine cottage cheese, peanut butter, and honey in a medium mixing bowl, using an immersion blender to create a silky, homogeneous mixture.
- Melt chocolate chips gradually by utilizing a toaster oven’s “warm” setting or microwaving in short 20-second bursts, stirring between intervals until achieving a glossy, liquid consistency.
- If the melted chocolate appears too dense, incorporate a small amount of ghee to enhance its fluidity and sheen.
- Carefully portion the blended cottage cheese mixture into individual serving vessels, ensuring an even distribution.
- Generously drizzle the liquefied chocolate over each prepared portion, creating an artistic chocolate layer.
- Sprinkle a delicate scattering of chopped peanuts across the chocolate-topped desserts, adding a delightful textural contrast.
- Transfer the assembled desserts to the refrigerator, allowing them to chill and solidify for approximately 30 minutes, which will help the flavors meld and the chocolate set.
- Remove from the refrigerator and serve the chilled dessert immediately, savoring the rich, creamy, and nutty flavor profile.
Notes
- Whip this protein-packed dessert in under 10 minutes with minimal kitchen tools.
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting honey levels or using alternative natural sweeteners like maple syrup.
- Immersion blender creates an ultra-smooth texture, eliminating cottage cheese lumps for a creamy consistency.
- Melt chocolate carefully using short microwave intervals to prevent burning and ensure silky-smooth coverage.
- Add ghee to chocolate for extra glossiness and smoother melting if the chocolate seems too thick.
- Chill for 30 minutes to let flavors meld and achieve a delightful, refreshing dessert texture.
