Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225g) small-curd cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup (60g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar (or powdered erythritol for low-sugar option)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup (45g) mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon nut butter (almond or peanut) or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Place 1 cup (225g) of small-curd cottage cheese and 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt into a blender. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Blend briefly for about 30 seconds to combine evenly.
- Taste the dip and adjust sweetness by adding more powdered sugar a teaspoon at a time if desired. Adjust thickness by adding a bit more powdered sugar or yogurt as needed.
- Transfer the dip to a mixing bowl and gently fold in 1/4 cup (45g) mini chocolate chips using a spatula, avoiding over-mixing to prevent melting.
- Cover and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and texture firm up.
- Serve chilled with graham crackers, apple slices, pretzels, or other preferred dippers.
Notes
Use small-curd cottage cheese and blend until ultra-smooth for best texture. Powdered sugar or powdered sweetener is preferred to avoid graininess. Chill dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance flavor and texture. Optional nut butter adds creaminess and protein boost. For dairy-free version, substitute cottage cheese with blended silken tofu and use plant-based yogurt.
