A creamy blend of cottage cheese, almond flour, and chocolate chips creates a protein-packed sweet treat.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 16 ounces low-fat cottage cheese

→ Sweeteners

02 - 1/4 cup maple syrup

→ Flavorings

03 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

→ Flours & Powders

04 - 2 cups almond flour
05 - 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder

→ Add-ins

06 - 1 cup mini chocolate chips

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Combine the cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no cottage cheese texture remains. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk if the mixture is too thick.
02 - Transfer the blended mixture to a medium bowl. Add almond flour and vanilla protein powder, then stir thoroughly using a spatula until fully combined and consistent.
03 - Fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough mixture, reserving some to sprinkle on top if desired.
04 - Refrigerate the mixture to firm up or enjoy immediately. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 5 days, considering the cottage cheese freshness.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - For a smoother dough, blending thoroughly is essential to mask the texture of the cottage cheese.
02 - Sweetener choice impacts flavor: maple syrup, honey, or a natural sweetener can be used based on preference.
03 - This recipe yields a protein-rich dessert well suited for small portions due to its caloric density.
