They are not only a delightful treat but also a great way to incorporate cottage cheese recipes into your diet, providing a boost of protein in each serving.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Blend the Cottage Cheese: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
3. Prepare the Cups: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Pour a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottom of each liner, just enough to cover the bottom. Place in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set.
4. Add the Filling: Once the chocolate has set, remove the muffin tin from the freezer. Spoon the cottage cheese mixture evenly into each cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
5. Top with Chocolate: Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the cottage cheese mixture in each cup, ensuring they are fully covered. Return to the freezer for another 30 minutes to set completely.
6. Serve: Once set, remove the cups from the muffin tin and peel off the liners. Enjoy your healthy cottage cheese peanut butter cups as a satisfying snack or dessert.
