Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 cup fresh blueberries, washed and thoroughly dried
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until combined. Blend briefly for a smoother texture if desired.
- Gently fold in the blueberries without crushing them.
- Scoop 2-tablespoon portions onto the prepared baking sheet to form 10–12 clusters.
- Freeze for 1–2 hours until completely firm.
- Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20-second microwave intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each frozen cluster into melted chocolate, coating completely. Let excess drip off and return to parchment.
- Freeze again for 10–15 minutes until chocolate is set.
- Store chilled until ready to serve.
Notes
- Ensure blueberries are completely dry to prevent icy texture.
- Let frozen clusters sit 1–2 minutes before dipping to prevent chocolate cracking.
- Store refrigerated up to 4 days.
- Freeze up to 1 month with parchment between layers.
- Blending cottage cheese creates a smoother center.
- Reheating is not recommended as chocolate may melt unevenly.
