If you have never tried whipped cottage cheese I urge you to try it. Especially if you don’t like the texture of cottage cheese.I’ve made this delicious berry flavored version, a peanut butter version and today I made this luscious and rich chocolate whipped cottage cheese. These are great options if you have a sweet tooth.

It is so good and has a creamy texture like a decadent pudding or chocolate cheesecake but it only takes minutes to make and is low carb, high protein and sugar free!

Another plus is that you can change up the flavors with extracts or add toppings to further add to it’s deliciousness. It’s a decadent treat for those on low carb diets even if you aren’t a fan of cottage cheese!

Recipe ingredients I used.

I just used a few simple ingredients to make this recipe – Good Culture plain cottage cheese, Divine cocoa powder, Swerve confectioners sweetener, vanilla cream stevia, salt and hazelnut extract.

I highly recommend this Good Culture cottage cheese because it is low in carbs and has very good texture and consistency. It has just 3g net carbs per ½ cup. Daisy is the second lowest brand with 4g net carbs per ½ cup. If you don’t care about carbs use whatever you want.

And it doesn’t matter if it’s full fat cottage cheese or low fat. All types of cottage cheese are an excellent source of protein.

Divine cocoa also is very low carb for unsweetened cocoa powder but you can use whatever kind you want. I like the rich color and flavor of Divine too and I can find it in my regular grocery store.

Also I used Swerve sweetener and Sweetleaf vanilla cream stevia drops to add sweetness. You can use a keto friendly sweetener of choice. Just taste test to get the right level for your tastes. 

Lastly I used hazelnut extract because I was going for a Nutella type of flavor but you can use vanilla extract or any extract you want to change up the flavor. Peppermint, raspberry, caramel, coconut or other flavored extract would all go good with this recipe.

How to make chocolate whipped cottage cheese.

Step 1: First spoon the cottage cheese into a food processor or high speed blender. I find the food processor much easier to get all the mixture out of but use whichever you prefer.

Blend on high until you have creamy and smooth cottage cheese like picture below.

Step 2: Add the cocoa powder, stevia, Swerve sweetener, sprinkle of salt and flavor extract if using. Blend well to mix and combine.

Step 3: Spoon chocolate mixture into a bowl and add your favorite toppings on the creamy base if you want. Store leftovers in an airtight container. Please scroll down for the printable recipe card.

TIP: Using a dark chocolate bar and a microplane to make chocolate shavings. You can really stretch a small piece of chocolate for maximum impact. Give it a try! See below.

Flavor combinations and add ins to try with this recipe.

Above you can see that I toasted some hazelnuts and also grated a Lindt 90% cacao dark chocolate bar on top of this sweet treat. I also had used some hazelnut extract. I would recommend the optional toppings but the hazelnut extract didn’t do it for me.

Here are other flavor options to try with the chocolate cottage cheese base.

• Flavor extracts – raspberry, strawberry, orange, coconut, caramel, butterscotch, peanut butter, mint or marshmallow are all delicious ideas. Remember these add flavor but no sweetness. And specifically with this chocolate flavor, peppermint extract would go great for a thin mint cookie flavor.
• Torani sugar free syrups – I love sugar free s’mores, salted caramel, coffee, hazelnut and Irish cream are my favorites sugar free flavorings.
• SweetLeaf flavored liquid stevia drops – I use vanilla cream all the time because it adds sweetness and vanilla flavoring so you don’t have to add vanilla extract. They also have other flavors and English toffee is my new favorite.
• Other flavor changers – Try natural peanut butter, instant coffee, almond butter,
• Toppings – low carb fruit like fresh berries or frozen berries, sugar free jams, keto cookies, toasted nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans, hazelnuts), seeds, toasted coconut, mini chocolate chips or cocoa nibs.
• Healthy but not low carb toppings – honey, maple syrup, dried fruit, cereal, granola, snack bars, healthy cookies, biscotti, etc.

See it’s just takes minutes to make this rich, chocolate bowl of whipped cottage cheese! You could eat this for breakfast, as a snack or even as a healthy treat or dessert. I can wait to try another flavor though it would be hard to beat this one if you have chocolate cravings. Enjoy!
