Cottage Cheese Lava Cake (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1/2 cup cottage cheese
02 - 2 tbsp cocoa powder
03 - 2 tbsp chocolate protein powder
04 - 1 egg
05 - 1 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips

# Instructions:

01 - Toss your cottage cheese, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, and egg into a microwave-safe bowl or mug. Mix until the mixture is combined. You can blend in a blender or food processor if you desire a smoother texture, but I prefer without blending. Then add chocolate chips and mix around.
02 - Pop it into the microwave for 90 seconds. The top should be mostly set, but the inside should be ooey-gooey, just like any good lava cake should be. Keep an eye on it—nobody wants an overcooked lava cake!
03 - As soon as it's done, let it cool for a minute (if you can wait that long), then dive in! The rich, molten center will ooze out like the chocolatey surprise it is. Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt, whipped cream, ice cream, or even more chocolate if you're feeling extra.

# Notes:

01 - You can blend the mixture for a smoother texture if preferred.
02 - This dessert works well topped with Greek yogurt, whipped cream, or ice cream.
