Easy 5-Minute Cottage Cheese Pudding

Author: Jessica Haggard
Cottage cheese pudding sounds unlikely right up until the blender turns the curds completely smooth. Five minutes, two servings, and it firms up further the longer it chills.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 2 scoops peanut butter flavored protein powder
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ tablespoons powdered sugar or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk or nut milk
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness or consistency with more milk if desired.
  • Chill for 30 minutes for a firmer texture, or enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Starting with chilled cottage cheese and milk makes the pudding instantly cool and creamy and helps everything blend together more smoothly. 
  • Too thick? Add a splash more milk. Too thin? Blend in a bit more cottage cheese or protein powder.
  • Use flavored extracts or add a spoonful of nut butter, instant espresso, or citrus zest for a fun twist.
  • Dress it up with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, cacao nibs, shaved dark chocolate, chopped nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Double or triple the recipe and store portions in individual containers for grab-and-go snacks or dessert throughout the week.
Serve: For breakfast or a midday snack or as an indulgent dessert.
Store: Transfer protein pudding to an airtight container or portion it into small jars or meal prep cups with lids and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not freeze - the texture may become grainy after thawing.
