Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions
- Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug or small ramekin.
- Place the cottage cheese and egg white into a small blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, resembling thick yogurt. This step is key for a fudgy texture.
