Ingredients
Here's what you'll need to make this:
- Cottage cheese - Blended smooth, it's the creamy, high-protein base. I used Good Culture full-fat for the richest texture.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder - Add high quality chocolate without sugar. Sift it in so it blends without lumps. I used Anthony's.
- Powdered sweetener - Sweetens it without sugar. Use a powdered sugar-free sweetener like Swerve. Add more to taste. Sift it in with the cocoa powder.

Instructions
This takes 5 minutes, start to finish.
- Blend the cottage cheese smooth. Use an immersion blender right in the cup or a regular blender.
- Sift in the cocoa powder and sweetener, then stir until smooth. Taste and add more sweetener if you want it sweeter.
- Top and serve. Whipped cream and dark chocolate chips are perfect for this.
Tip: Sifting keeps the cocoa powder and sweetener from clumping.
FAQ
Yes, this specific recipe will taste like cottage cheese because it's mostly cottage cheese. With the chocolate and sweetener, it tastes like a chocolate cheesecake in a cup.
Store it covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. It thickens as it chills, so it's good made ahead. Give it a quick stir before eating.
