Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp chocolate protein powder (such as Chocolate Milkshake protein powder from 1UP Nutrition)
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Toss your cottage cheese, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, and egg into a microwave-safe bowl or mug. Mix until the mixture is combined. You can blend in a blender or food processor if you desire a smoother texture, but mixing by hand is also great. Then add chocolate chips and stir them evenly into the mixture.
- Microwave Cooking: Pop the mixture into the microwave and cook for 90 seconds. The top should be mostly set, while the center remains ooey-gooey, achieving the perfect molten lava cake texture. Be careful not to overcook to maintain the lava center.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool for about one minute before indulging. For extra indulgence, top with Greek yogurt, whipped cream, ice cream, or additional chocolate.
