Cottage cheese, Cocoa powder, Dark chocolate, high-quality, coconut oil or melted butter.
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups (500g) Cottage cheese
- 1/3 cup (33g) Cocoa powder
- 250g (8.8oz) Dark chocolate, high-quality
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or melted butter
Method
- Process the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides to remove lumps.

- Add cocoa powder and coconut oil to the blended cottage cheese and blend until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add the melted chocolate, and mix until combined and smooth.
- Line an 8-inch (20cm) square baking dish with parchment paper, pour the fudge mixture into the dish, and smooth the top with a spatula.
