Cottage Cheese Hot Chocolate – Healthy, High-Protein, Thick and Creamy
This Cottage Cheese Hot Chocolate is my new favorite way to turn a cozy classic into something a little more nourishing, without sacrificing comfort. It’s rich, thick, and incredibly smooth, yet made with just a few simple ingredients you probably already have: cocoa powder, honey, milk, and cottage cheese. No starch, no complicated steps, and no strange additives.
Ingredients
- 14 oz (400g) cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup (30g) dark cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp (60g) honey
- 1/4 tsp (1g) salt
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese to a blender.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Add the cocoa powder, honey and salt to the blender.
- Blend again until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a small saucepan.
- Add milk.
- Mix to combine.
- Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Warm until hot but not boiling. Adjust sweetness if needed.
- Top with shredded coconut if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy while warm.

Notes
- Full-fat cottage cheese gives the best, creamiest result.
- Add a little extra milk if you prefer a thinner hot chocolate.
- You can add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla for extra warmth and flavor.
