Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz (454 g) cottage cheese
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) creamy unsalted peanut butter
- ⅓ cup (113 g) honey
- ⅓ cup (57 g) chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup (50 g) peanuts, chopped
Instructions
- Preparation: Blend cottage cheese, peanut butter, and honey using an immersion blender until achieving a smooth, uniform texture.
- Chocolate Melting: Gently liquefy chocolate chips through a double boiler method or microwave, stirring frequently to prevent scorching and maintain a glossy consistency.
- Chocolate Adjustment: If chocolate seems thick, incorporate a touch of ghee to enhance fluidity and create a silky finish.
- Layering: Distribute the cottage cheese mixture evenly into serving dishes, creating a uniform base.
- Chocolate Coating: Artfully drizzle melted chocolate over the prepared base, ensuring complete coverage.
- Texture Enhancement: Sprinkle chopped peanuts across the surface, introducing a delightful crunch and nutty dimension.
- Chilling and Setting: Refrigerate the dessert for 30 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and chocolate to solidify, creating a cohesive and refreshing treat.
Notes
- Blend Smoothly: Use an immersion blender to ensure the cottage cheese, peanut butter, and honey combine into a silky, lump-free mixture for the best texture.
- Melt Chocolate Carefully: Microwave chocolate in short 20-second bursts or use a toaster oven’s “warm” setting to prevent burning and achieve a glossy consistency.
- Adjust Chocolate Consistency: Add a touch of ghee if the melted chocolate appears too thick, creating a more fluid and shiny chocolate drizzle.
- Chill for Perfect Setting: Refrigerate the dessert for exactly 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and chocolate to set, ensuring an ideal serving temperature and texture.
