Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese Full fat blends the creamiest, low fat works too.
  • 1-2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder Use dark cocoa for intense chocolate flavor.
  • 1-2 tablespoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar free) Start small and add more to taste.
  • 1 splash vanilla extract Optional but recommended for richer flavor.
  • 1 pinch salt Balances the chocolate flavor.
Optional Dubai Style Add-Ins
  • 1-2 tablespoons chopped pistachios For topping.
  • 1 teaspoon tahini For blending in for nutty depth.
  • 1-2 tablespoons date syrup For natural sweetness.
  • 1 drop rose water Enhances flavor; use sparingly.
  • 1-2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds For additional crunch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Add cottage cheese to your blender.
  2. Add cocoa powder and sweetener of choice.
  3. Pour in a splash of vanilla and add a pinch of salt.
  4. Blend until totally smooth, like pudding.
  5. Taste the mixture and adjust cocoa or sweetener if desired.
  6. Chill for 20 to 30 minutes for a thicker consistency, or serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, ensure your cottage cheese is not too watery. Blending longer helps achieve a mousse-like texture. Keep refrigerated and consume within a day or two for optimal taste.
