Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by breaking your dark chocolate into small pieces and placing them in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave at 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. In a blender, add the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate into the cottage cheese mixture. Blend on high until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds.
  4. Spoon the mixture into serving glasses or bowls, smooth the tops, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Before serving, add desired toppings like dark chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or whipped cream. Serve chilled.
