- 7 ingredients
10 minutes to prep, 40 to cook. A silky chocolate‑yogurt parfait that’s both indulgent and toddler‑friendly. Creamy cottage cheese and Greek yogurt are blended with cocoa and maple syrup for a sweet, protein‑rich treat that firms up overnight.
Free. No account needed.
Method
Place the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, eggs, cocoa powder, maple syrup, corn starch, and vanilla into a blender.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps remain.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The batter is smooth with no cottage cheese lumps. Blend until the texture is even before pouring.
Line a 6‑inch (15 cm) baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Pour the blended mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly.
Preheat the oven to 325°F (325°F).
Bake the dessert for 40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly wobbling.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The edges are set while the center still wobbles slightly. Avoid waiting for the center to become fully firm in the oven.
Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack until it reaches room temperature (about 30 minutes).
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the center to fully set.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The chilled center has set and holds a clean slice. Keep covered while it chills to prevent the surface drying.
Serve chilled, optionally topped with a dusting of cocoa powder or fresh berries.
