# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like brownie batter but actually packs real protein, so you can feel good about what you're eating.
  • Takes ten minutes from start to finish, which means you can make it while your coffee's still hot.
  • The cottage cheese hides perfectly behind the chocolate, transforming something people usually avoid into something they can't get enough of.
02 -
  • Blending is absolutely everything here—a food processor or blender makes or breaks whether people can taste the cottage cheese, so don't try to shortcut this step.
  • If your dip seems too thick, a tablespoon of milk stirred in at the end loosens it perfectly without watering down the flavor.
03 -
  • Taste your blended mixture before adding the chocolate chips and adjust the sweetness then, because it's easier than trying to fix it after.
  • If you're serving this at a gathering, keep it slightly cool and refresh the fruit platter halfway through so everything looks fresh the whole time people are eating.
