This Cottage Cheese Hot Chocolate is my new favorite way to turn a cozy classic into something a little more nourishing, without sacrificing comfort. It’s rich, thick, and incredibly smooth, yet made with just a few simple ingredients you probably already have: cocoa powder, honey, milk, and cottage cheese. No starch, no complicated steps, and no strange additives.
The cottage cheese blends in smoothly, making the drink creamy while adding extra protein. You won’t taste it at all, just pure chocolatey goodness. The cocoa gives it that deep, real chocolate flavor, while the honey adds gentle sweetness that doesn’t overpower. Warmed slowly and blended until silky, this hot chocolate feels like a hug in a mug.
I love how filling it is, especially on chilly mornings or quiet evenings when I want something comforting but not overly heavy. It’s perfect for slowing down, wrapping your hands around a warm cup, and truly enjoying the moment.
If you’re looking for a healthier hot chocolate that still feels special and cozy, this one might surprise you. It’s simple, satisfying, and proof that comfort food can also be wholesome.
How to make Cottage Cheese Hot Chocolate
Begin with blending the cottage cheese in a blender until completely smooth and creamy. Add the cocoa powder, honey, and salt, then blend again until fully combined and silky.
Next, pour the mixture into a small saucepan. Add the milk and stir to combine. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Finish by topping with shredded coconut if desired, then serve immediately and enjoy warm.
