this is one of those recipes that feels almost illegal in the best way.
it tastes like rich brownie batter, has the exact thick, scoopable texture of cookie dough, and somehow doubles as a high-protein snack you can keep in the fridge all week.
no baking, no weird ingredients, no blender-thin “dessert hummus” energy. just straight-up cookie dough vibes.
the flavor is deeply chocolatey and brownie-like, with that classic cookie dough richness thanks to the nut butter and chocolate chips.
the texture is where this really shines. it’s thick, creamy, and spoonable, but sturdy enough to roll into dough balls if you want.
it’s not fluffy or mousse-like. it’s dense, satisfying, and feels indulgent.
blended cottage cheese is the secret weapon. once it’s fully smooth, it creates an ultra-creamy base that mimics traditional cookie dough while packing in protein.
paired with vanilla protein powder and almond flour, it turns into a legit dough texture instead of something pudding-like.
this is the kind of snack that actually keeps you full.
it’s high in protein, balanced with fats, and doesn’t spike and crash the way typical sweet snacks do. it works as:
store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
it thickens slightly as it chills, which honestly makes it even better. you can also portion it into individual containers for grab-and-go snacks.

Any protein powder substitutes?
hi!! you could try oat flour but that would significantly take away flavor and sweetness
Any almond flour subs? Allergic to nuts
oat flour but will have to adjust the amount for texture! start with a little less
