A creamy, protein-packed dip with the nostalgic flavor of cookie dough, made with cottage cheese and simple wholesome ingredients. Perfect for a quick, healthy snack or post-workout treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup (43 g) mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

  1. Measure 1 cup (240 ml) of small-curd cottage cheese and place it in the blender or food processor. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy with no visible curds.
  2. Add 1/4 cup (30 g) vanilla protein powder, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the blended cottage cheese. Blend again for 20-30 seconds until combined evenly.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) almond butter and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup. Blend for another 20 seconds. If the mixture is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) unsweetened almond milk to loosen it up to a creamy but scoopable consistency.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and gently fold in 1/4 cup (43 g) mini chocolate chips with a spatula to distribute evenly without breaking them.
  5. Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and the dip to thicken slightly.

Notes

Use small-curd cottage cheese for best texture. Adjust sweetness by reducing honey or syrup if desired. Add almond milk slowly to achieve desired consistency. Fold in chocolate chips gently to preserve crunch. Chill dip for at least 30 minutes for best flavor and texture. Can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter for nut allergies. Use dairy-free cottage cheese and maple syrup for vegan/dairy-free version.
