Ingredients (10–12 Balls)

For the chocolate protein base

1 cup full-fat cottage cheese, blended smooth
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2–3 tbsp monk fruit or erythritol (to taste)
½ cup almond flour
1 scoop sugar-free chocolate protein powder
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the glossy topping (like the photo)

¼ cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
1 tsp coconut oil

How to Make Them

Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth and creamy—this is key for the fudgy texture.
In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and protein powder.
Add almond flour gradually until a soft, rollable dough forms.
Roll into balls and place on parchment paper.
Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil and spoon a glossy layer on top of each ball.
Chill for 20–30 minutes until set.
