  • Optional topping: whipped cream
  • Chopped peanuts for garnish

Method
 

  1. Add cottage cheese, peanut butter, honey (or sweetener), vanilla extract, and cocoa powder to a blender or food processor.
  2. Blend for 1–2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness or cocoa intensity.
