Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup cottage cheese
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 to 3 tablespoons sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon sugar free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a small baking dish or ramekin.
- Add the egg, cottage cheese, cocoa powder, and sweetener to a blender.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish.
- Add the chocolate chips to the center of the batter, gently pressing them down slightly.
- Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy warm for the best lava cake texture.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness to your taste using 2 or 3 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener.
- For an extra gooey center, slightly underbake the brownie.
- A small ramekin creates a thicker brownie, while a wider dish produces a thinner brownie.
- Best enjoyed warm when the chocolate center is still melted.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat briefly before serving.
