2 Ingredient Keto Cottage Cheese Fudge
This cottage cheese fudge is smooth and creamy. It is also low carb, low sugar and keto-friendly. You only need 2 ingredients to make it and it is easy to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (226g) high protein cottage cheese, 4%, brought to room temperature (about 30 minutes), see note before starting
- 2 cups (300g) sugar free semi-sweet chocolate chips, see note before starting
Instructions
- Line an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Add cottage cheese to a small high powered blender and blend until completely smooth with no visible curds. Stop and scrape your blender a few times with a spatula to help the blender blend. If your cottage cheese is very thick and not blending well, add a splash of water to help the blender blend. Make sure your cottage cheese is room temperature before blending it. If the cottage cheese is too cold, it will cause the chocolate to seize.
- In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, add chocolate chips. Heat in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between with a spatula, until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Add the blended cottage cheese into the melted chocolate. Use a spatula to mix until the cottage cheese is fully and evenly incorporated. There should be no streaks of cottage cheese and the batter should be uniform in color.
- Transfer your mixture into your prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth and even the surface. If desired, you can make a pattern on the surface of the fudge using your spatula.
- Place fudge into the fridge for a few hours (about 3-4 hours) or overnight to set. Cut the fudge into bite-sized pieces (approximate 1 inch squares) with a large sharp knife. The fudge can stick to the knife as you cut it. After each cut, rather than lifting the knife off the fudge or pulling it off, slide the fudge across the length of the knife blade until it slides off the knife blade. This keeps the fudge pieces smooth and intact. Store uneaten fudge in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- Cottage cheese note: This fudge works best with a cottage cheese made with whole milk or 4% milkfat. You also want a high protein cottage cheese (between 13-14 grams of protein per 1/2 cup.) Some brands of cottage cheese are very thick and will need a splash of water to help the blender blend it completely smooth (such as Good Culture and Nancy's brands). Bring the cottage cheese to room temperature (about 30 minutes) before using.
- Chocolate note: I made these with Lily's semi-sweet chocolate chips. The fudge texture may turn out differently depending on the sugar substitute used in the chocolate chips.
