How to Make

Add cottage cheese, cacao powder, protein powder, and maple syrup to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and thick. 

Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate to firm up. Scoop and roll into bite-sized balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray. 

Microwave chocolate chips with coconut oil, stirring until smooth. 

Using a fork, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate.

Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top while the chocolate is still warm. Refrigerate or freeze until the chocolate shell is set.

Tips and Tricks

• Use full-fat cottage cheese (like Good Culture) for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
• Blend until completely smooth, any lumps will affect the final truffle texture.
• Chill the mixture before rolling to make shaping easier and less sticky.
• If the mixture feels too soft, add 1–2 tbsp extra cacao powder and/or protein powder to firm it up.
• Work quickly and in batches when dipping in chocolate so the truffles hold their shape.

How to Save and Store

Store these chocolate truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. They’re best enjoyed chilled straight from the fridge or slightly softened from the freezer for that perfect creamy center and crisp chocolate shell.
