Sugar-Free Cottage Cheese Lava Cake

Ingredients:

½ cup full-fat cottage cheese

1 large egg

1 egg white

2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tbsp granulated monk fruit sweetener (or allulose)

½ tsp baking powder

Pinch of salt

½ tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips

Optional Toppings: Sugar-free whipped cream, fresh raspberries or strawberries, powdered monk fruit sweetener

Detailed Instructions:

In a high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, whole egg, egg white, cocoa powder, monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract.

Blend for 30–60 seconds on high until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and looks exactly like luxurious brownie batter.

Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug (12 oz or larger) with cooking spray, then pour the silky chocolate batter right in.

Drop in your sugar-free chocolate chips, gently pressing a few directly into the center of the batter to create that ultimate molten lava core effect.

Microwave on high for 90 seconds. The edges should be set while the center remains beautifully soft and slightly jiggly. (If needed, add 10-second bursts, but don't overcook or you'll lose the lava!).

Let it rest for 1 minute to firm up slightly, top with sugar-free whipped cream or fresh berries, and dive into that warm, gooey chocolate center!
