Description
Yes, you read that right—a gooey, chocolatey lava cake with 27g of protein and only 208 calories. This dessert is high in protein, low in guilt, and irresistibly rich. You won’t believe it’s made with cottage cheese.
Ingredients
¼ cup cottage cheese
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 egg
1 tsp maple syrup or sweetener of choice
Optional: A square of dark chocolate in the center or a scoop of vanilla yogurt/ice cream on top
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a blender or small bowl, mix all ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Pour batter into a greased ramekin or small baking dish.
For extra gooeyness, press a piece of dark chocolate into the center.
Bake for 10–12 minutes—edges should be set but center still soft.
Let cool slightly and top with ice cream or yogurt if desired. Dig in!
