Ingredients

Scale

Graham cracker layer:

  • 9 graham crackers (full sheets)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)

Chocolate layer:

  • 6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate (chopped (about ¾ cup chocolate chips))
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • Cottage cheese layer:
  • 10 oz. 4% cottage cheese
  • ⅓ cup creamy all-natural peanut butter (we used Smucker’s All-Natural)
  • ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon honey

Toppings:

  • Flakey sea salt
  • Mini chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a muffin tin with muffin liners. Spray generously with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the graham cracker crust by processing graham crackers and butter in a food processor until crumbly.
  3. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker crumbs into each muffin cup and press down firmly.
  4. Bake the crust for 5 minutes at 350ºF, then let it cool.
  5. Prepare the chocolate layer by melting chocolate and coconut oil together.
  6. Scoop two heaping teaspoons of melted chocolate onto each graham cracker crust. Spread evenly and freeze for 10 minutes.
  7. Make the peanut butter layer by blending cottage cheese, peanut butter, and honey until creamy.
  8. Spoon 1.5-2 heaping tablespoons of the cottage cheese mixture onto the chocolate layer. Spread evenly and top with mini chocolate chips and sea salt.
  9. Freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.

Notes

  • Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Any nut butter works well instead of peanut butter.
  • Full-fat cottage cheese is recommended for a creamier texture.
