Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup almond milk
- 1 tsp instant espresso powder (dissolved in exactly 1 tsp hot water)
- 1 tbsp sugar-free caramel syrup (or regular maple syrup)
- ¼ cup chia seeds
Instructions
- The Coffee Paste: In a tiny cup, vigorously mix the instant espresso powder and hot water until it forms a smooth, dark paste.
- Blend Base: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, almond milk, coffee paste, and caramel syrup. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Mix Chia: Pour the blended mixture into a jar, then whisk in the chia seeds until evenly distributed. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping.
- Chill & Serve: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set. Before serving, drizzle a tiny bit of extra caramel on top for that perfect finishing touch.
Notes
- Use sugar-free caramel syrup for a lower-calorie option.
- Whisking chia seeds twice prevents clumping.
- Best served chilled.
