Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Cottage Cheese (1 cup, full-fat recommended)
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (2 tablespoons)
  • Protein Powder (1 scoop, chocolate or vanilla whey or plant-based)
  • Sweetener of Choice (1-2 tablespoons honey, maple syrup, or stevia, adjust to taste)
  • Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon)
  • Milk or Plant Milk (1/4 to 1/2 cup, to adjust consistency)

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Measure out cottage cheese, cocoa powder, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and milk, ensuring everything is ready for quick preparation.
  2. Blend the Ingredients: Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy to achieve a luscious, lump-free texture.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the pudding is too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.
  4. Chill for Best Results: Transfer the pudding to serving bowls or jars and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and texture firm up slightly.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Garnish as desired and enjoy straight from the fridge for a quick, protein-rich chocolate treat.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese to enhance creaminess and flavor.
  • Blend ingredients thoroughly to eliminate any graininess and ensure a smooth texture.
  • Sweeten gradually, tasting as you go to avoid over-sweetening.
  • Chilling the pudding fully allows flavors to meld and thickens the texture beautifully.
  • Experiment with different protein powders like whey, casein, or plant-based for varied nutrition and taste.
