Nutella Protein Dessert

Zutaten

1 tub 2% cottage cheese (16 oz)

5-6 tbsp unsweetened cacao powder (I use 6)

1/2 to 3/4 cup powdered monkfruit or preferred powdered sweetener - make sure its POWDERED

Melted Lily’s milk chocolate chips (I used 2 tbsp to keep this lighter)

Crushed hazelnuts (I used 2 tbsp, too, but use however much you like)

Here is how I made it:

1.Add your cottage cheese, cacao powder, and powdered sweetener to a small food processor. Important: the sweetener must be powdered or the texture will be gritty. Blend for 30 seconds until completely smooth and creamy. Pause, mix with spoon, and go another 20-30 seconds. You’ll want to get rid of all the curds and for it to be completely smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

2.Transfer to a container and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. You can eat it right away, but chilling thickens it and makes the texture even better.

3.Melt the chocolate chips (you may want to add 1 tsp coconut oil) in the microwave for 15 seconds, stir, then another 15 seconds until smooth.

4.Spoon your dessert into bowls, drizzle the melted chocolate on top, and sprinkle with crushed hazelnuts. Chill briefly if you want a crackable chocolate layer.
