Ingredients
Scale
1/3 cup full-fat cottage cheese
1 large egg
2 tbsp chocolate protein powder
2 tbsp black cacao powder
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp dark chocolate chips
1 pinch flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Lightly grease a microwave-safe ramekin and set aside.
- Add the cottage cheese, egg, protein powder, cacao powder, maple syrup, and salt to a small blender.
- Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin.
- Top the batter with dark chocolate chips.
- Place the ramekin on a small plate to catch any potential overflow and microwave on high for 90 seconds.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and allow the cake to cool and set for 2 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, ideally with a side of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Check the cake at 80 seconds if you have a high-wattage microwave.
