  • 1/4 cup nut butter (any kind) Choose your favorite for depth and richness.
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or liquid sweetener Adds just the right amount of sweetness.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract A splash of warmth and richness.
Dry Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup almond flour or oat flour Either works well for a nutty, wholesome flavor.
  • 3-4 tbsp cocoa powder The heart of those delicious brownie vibes!
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips Because chocolate makes everything better!
  • 1 tsp coconut oil Helps with that glossy chocolate coating.
  • to taste flaky sea salt (optional for topping) A sprinkle for that gourmet finish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Blend the Base: Start by adding your cottage cheese, nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Mix it Up: Add the almond flour and cocoa powder, then blend again until you have a thick brownie batter.
  3. Chill Out: Pour the batter into a bowl and pop it into the freezer for about 20 minutes.
  4. Roll into Truffles: Scoop and roll the chilled batter into small balls using your hands. If sticky, lightly wet your hands. Place on a parchment-lined plate.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
  6. Dip and Decorate: Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top and freeze until the chocolate hardens.
  7. Enjoy: Pop a truffle into your mouth and enjoy!

Notes

Time-Saving Tip: Prepare the batter a day ahead and let it chill overnight to intensify flavors. If the mixture is too crumbly, add more maple syrup or nut butter.
