Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp chocolate protein powder
- 1 tbsp PB Fit (or any powdered peanut butter)
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Drizzle of peanut butter (for topping)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl or mug, combine cottage cheese, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, PB Fit, and egg. Stir well until everything is blended. For a smooth texture, use a blender. For a chunkier, rustic feel, mix by hand.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Microwave for 90 seconds. The top should be mostly set while the center stays gooey—like a mini lava cake.
- Let cool slightly, then drizzle with melted peanut butter. Optional but highly encouraged: top with whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or extra chocolate chips for a decadent finish.
