Ingredients

Main Ingredients

125 grams soft cottage cheese (1 cup)
22 grams honey (1 tablespoon, heaping)
70 grams blueberries
15 grams dark chocolate

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Base

In a medium mixing bowl, combine 125 grams of *soft cottage cheese*. Ensure that the cheese is smooth and free of lumps. This will serve as the creamy base for your dessert.

Add *22 grams of heaping honey* to the bowl. Mix well until the honey is fully incorporated, creating a smooth mixture.

Step 2

Incorporate Blueberries

Gently fold in *70 grams of fresh blueberries*. Be careful not to mash the blueberries; you want to keep them whole for texture and flavor.

Once incorporated, set the mixture aside while you melt the chocolate.

Step 3

Melt the Dark Chocolate

Take *15 grams of dark chocolate* and chop it into small pieces. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts (around 20-30 seconds), stirring in between until fully melted.

Let the chocolate cool slightly before adding it to the cottage cheese mixture. This will prevent the chocolate from cooking the cheese.

Step 4

Combine and Serve

Pour the melted chocolate into the cottage cheese mixture. Stir gently until everything is well combined.

For serving, spoon the mixture into small cups or bowls. You can enjoy them right away or refrigerate for 30 minutes for a colder treat. This dessert is great for sharing or a sweet snack for yourself!
