Chocolate Peanut Butter Cottage Cheese Pudding (High Protein)
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cottage Cheese Pudding is a thick, rich chocolate pudding made by blending cottage cheese with peanut butter protein powder, cocoa, and a little vanilla until completely smooth. If you love a Reese's cup, this is a high-protein snack or dessert with that same chocolate and peanut butter flavor.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
For the pudding
- 2 cups cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
- 2 scoops peanut butter protein powder
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons powdered erythritol (stevia works too)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 to 4 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Put the cottage cheese, protein powder, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, 2 tablespoons almond milk, and the salt, if using, in a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape the sides, until no curds remain.
- Taste the pudding. Add more sweetener if you like, and blend in more almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time if it's too thick.
- Spoon the pudding into 4 small cups or jars.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up, or serve right away for a softer pudding.
Notes
Chilling: The 30-minute chill is optional but gives it a thicker, more pudding-like texture.
Storage: Cover the cups and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing: I wouldn't freeze it. Cottage cheese turns grainy once it thaws.
