Notes

1. Mixing - I put the cottage cheese mixture in a new bowl after blending, then added the almond flour and protein powder.

2. Chilling - Totally optional! But makes it easier to work with if you are portioning out into bite-sized pieces. Feel free to consume immediately if you are feeling snacky.

3. Serving - Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion into bite-sized pieces, or just put in your favorite bowl and dust with cocoa powder. Either way is delicious!

4. Sweetener - Use your favorite sugar-free sweetener of choice such as Monk fruit, allulose, or stevia if following a keto or low carb diet. If you don't care about carbs, then maple syrup, agave nectar, or honey also make great additions to this recipe.

5. Rum Extract - Totally optional, but it gives it that authentic tiramisu taste. Or feel free to use vanilla extract, almond extract or your favorite extract of choice.

6. Protein Powder - I used Vanilla Keto Chow for this recipe, but feel free to use your favorite unsweetened or sugar-free protein powder of choice. Whey Protein, milk protein, pea protein, etc. will work.

7. Nutrition and carbs – Be aware that some recipe blogs omit sugar alcohols from the nutrition calculation. I have included it and calculated the net carbs below. Always use a carb counter app like Cronometer according to the brands you use in order to get accurate nutrition information.

3.14 Total Carbs – 0.85 Fiber – 1.26 Sugar Alcohols = 1.03 Net Carbs per bite.

.30g Sugar is from Lactose (milk sugar in cottage cheese)
