Cottage Cheese Lava Cake 🍫 Lava cake with 27g of protein and only 280 calories??? SIGN ✍🏻 ME ✍🏻 UP ✍🏻 Comment “lava cake” and I’ll send the full recipe straight to your DMs! Or can also find full recipe at https://basicswithbails.com/course/dessert/cottage-cheese-lava-cake/ INGREDIENTS - 1/2 cup cottage cheese 2 tbsp cocoa powder 2 tbsp chocolate protein powder 1 egg 1 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips Optional - 1-2 tbsp sweetener of choice (don’t need it if you have a good tasting protein powder - I recommend Chocolate Truffle from @pescience code BAILEY to save $$) DIRECTIONS - 1) 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. 2) 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! 3) 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. #lavacake #lavacakerecipe #falldessert #proteindessert #chocolateprotein #easydessertrecipe #microwavedessert
