This Chocolate Cottage Cheese Pudding is rich, creamy, and packed with protein! It’s a smooth, chocolatey treat that tastes like dessert but is secretly healthy.

Made with just a few simple ingredients, this pudding is quick, easy, and naturally high in protein.

Let’s make it!

What You’ll Need

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • Pinch of sea salt

For Toppings (Optional but delicious!):

  • Dark chocolate shavings
  • Cocoa nibs or crushed nuts
  • A drizzle of honey

Pro Tips

  1. Blend well! Cottage cheese needs to be fully blended for a smooth texture.
  2. For extra creaminess, add ½ a ripe banana or 1 tbsp Greek yogurt.
  3. Want it extra chocolatey? Add ½ tbsp melted dark chocolate.
  4. For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free cottage cheese and almond milk.
  5. Chill for 15 minutes for a thicker, pudding-like texture.

Tools You’ll Need

  • Blender or food processor
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon for serving
