Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, preferably 0–2% fat
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or another preferred zero-calorie sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free chocolate chips, optional
- A small pinch of salt
- Chopped pecans or almonds, optional, for topping
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Blend the creamy ingredients:
Add the Greek yogurt and cottage cheese to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. - Add the flavor:
Add the cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, baking powder, egg, and a small pinch of salt. Blend again until everything is well combined. - Make it extra chocolatey:
If desired, gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips. - Prepare the dish:
Lightly grease a small microwave-safe ramekin or baking dish. Pour the mixture into it and smooth the surface. - Cook:
For the microwave, cook for about 2–3 minutes, checking after 2 minutes. The center should be set but still slightly soft.Alternatively, bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 18–22 minutes. - Let it cool:
Allow the dessert to cool for several minutes. It will become firmer as it cools. - Add toppings:
Sprinkle with a few chopped pecans or almonds. You can also add a spoonful of unsweetened Greek yogurt on top. - Serve:
Enjoy warm for a soft, fluffy texture or refrigerate for 30–60 minutes for a firmer, cheesecake-like consistency.
Tip: For a lighter texture, blend the cottage cheese very thoroughly. For a stronger chocolate flavor, add another teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder.
