Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- Graham crackers or fruit for dipping
Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese in a food processor or high-powered blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain. This step is crucial for achieving a silky texture.
- Add peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the blended cottage cheese. Process or blend again until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is uniform in consistency.
- Stop the food processor or blender and scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture to a medium mixing bowl. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dip.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
- Before serving, let the dip sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier spreading.
- Serve chilled with graham crackers, apple slices, or other preferred dipping items. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Tips
- Ensure your cottage cheese is completely smooth by blending it thoroughly - no lumps allowed! The smoother the base, the more luxurious your dip will be.
- Use room temperature ingredients for easier mixing and a more consistent texture.
- For a lower-sugar version, consider using sugar-free honey or a liquid sweetener alternative.
- Experiment with different mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruit, or different types of chocolate chips to customize your dip.
- If the dip seems too thick, you can thin it slightly with a tablespoon of milk or Greek yogurt.
- Chill the dip for the recommended 30 minutes - this helps the flavors meld and gives a firmer consistency.
- For best presentation, serve in a cute bowl with an assortment of dipping options like graham crackers, fresh fruit, or pretzels.
