Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 cup cottage cheese (2% fat recommended)
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: In a medium bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Blend Cottage Cheese: Place cottage cheese in a food processor and blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides to ensure an even consistency.
- Combine Mixture: Add the melted chocolate mixture to the blended cottage cheese in the processor. Continue processing until the mixture is uniform in color and texture, with no visible white streaks.
- Prepare Pan: Line a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Pour the fudge mixture into the pan and gently level it with a spatula, taking care not to spread it onto the sides of the pan.
- Freeze to Set: Place the loaf pan in the freezer and freeze the fudge for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- Serve: Remove from the freezer, cut into 8 squares, and enjoy your creamy cottage cheese fudge.
Notes
- Use 2% cottage cheese for a balance of creaminess and lower fat.
- Ensure the chocolate chips are fully melted to avoid lumps in the fudge.
- Scraping the food processor walls is important for a smooth and consistent texture.
- Store fudge in the freezer for best texture and freshness.
- This fudge is a no-bake, freezer-set dessert perfect for quick preparation.
