Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup nut butter (any kind)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (or liquid sweetener)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
- 3–4 tbsp cocoa powder
Chocolate Coating
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- Blend the Batter: Add cottage cheese, nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Then add almond flour and cocoa powder, and blend again until fully combined.
- Chill the Batter: Transfer the batter to a container and set it in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up, making it easier to roll into balls.
- Form the Truffles: Using your hands (lightly wet if batter is sticky), roll the chilled batter into small balls. Place them on a parchment-covered plate or tray.
- Freeze the Truffles: Place the rolled balls back into the freezer for another 20 minutes to fully set before dipping.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler over the stovetop.
- Dip and Top: Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined tray and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Final Freeze: Freeze the chocolate-coated truffles until the chocolate hardens, approximately 15 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, enjoy these rich and healthy brownie batter cottage cheese truffles as a delightful snack or dessert.
Notes
- If the batter is too sticky to roll, wet your hands slightly to make rolling easier.
- You can substitute almond flour with oat flour or any nut-based flour.
- Use any nut butter you prefer, such as almond, peanut, or cashew butter.
- For a sweeter taste, adjust the maple syrup amount or choose a different liquid sweetener.
- Store leftovers in the freezer in an airtight container for up to one week.
