Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup cottage cheese adds moisture and a light texture
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder provides rich chocolate flavor
  • 2 tbsp chocolate protein powder enhances chocolate taste and texture
  • 1 piece egg acts as a binder and adds moisture
  • 1 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips melts to create the gooey center

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Begin by preheating your oven to the appropriate temperature for baking.
  • Gather all the ingredients and ensure that the cottage cheese is well-mixed.

Mixing

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, and the egg. Blend until creamy and free of lumps.
  • Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter and gently fold them in.

Baking

  • Prepare your baking containers by lightly greasing them with cooking spray or oil.
  • Pour the batter into each ramekin or cup, filling them about halfway.
  • Place the filled ramekins in the preheated oven and bake until the edges are firm and the centers look slightly soft.
  • Once baked, let them cool for a few moments to enhance the gooey texture before serving.

Notes

Serve with fresh fruit salad or vanilla ice cream. Store in an airtight container for up to two days at room temperature or five days in the refrigerator. For freezing, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and use within three months. Reheat gently in the microwave.
