Ingredients

  • 3 ounces (85 g) milk chocolate bar, chopped  
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Dutch cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • 10 chocolate cookies (Cadia® makes an organic option) 
  • 5 sprigs of fresh mint

Directions

  1. In a heatproof bowl, add the chopped milk chocolate and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each one to prevent burning.
  2. Add the cottage cheese, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and melted chocolate to a food processor. Process on high for 5 to 10 minutes or until the mixture is smooth with no remaining visible cottage cheese chunks. If you want a richer chocolate flavor, double the amount of cocoa powder.
  3. Transfer the pudding to small serving dishes and add crushed cookies on top.
  4. Garnish with mint leaves. Serve immediately (you can also make this ahead of time. Store in an airtight container in the fridge and add cookies right before serving. The pudding will thicken a bit more after it’s chilled in the fridge as well.)
  5. Store extra pudding in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
