Keyword: chocolate dipped blueberry cottage cheese clusters
Servings: 14 cluster halves
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup pecans chopped
- 1 cup cottage cheese low fat, blended
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate coating
- 1 ½ cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- A pinch sea salt
Cover a chopping board with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine blueberries, pecans, cottage cheese, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Now form clusters from the mixture on the chopping board. Use about 2 tablespoons of mixture per cluster.
Pop into the freezer for 90 minutes. You want the clusters too harden up a little bit but not to completely freeze over as the inside should be soft.
Just before bringing the clusters out of the freezer, combine chocolate chips with coconut oil in a bowl. Pop into the microwave and heat up in 30s increments, mixing in between until the chocolate melts.
Take the clusters out of the freezer and dip them in chocolate. Place them back onto the chopping board and drizzle areas that don’t have chocolate on them with a spoon.
The chocolate will very quickly harden. Sprinkle them with sea salt.
Store away whole inside the fridge, and cut in half before serving.
