No-Bake Chocolate Banana Cottage Cheese Dessert

This creamy chocolate-coated banana cottage cheese dessert is rich, fudgy, and secretly simple to make with just a handful of ingredients.

Ingredients

• 4 cookies
• 300 g cottage cheese
• 1 ripe banana
• 1/2 tbsp peanut butter
• 2 tbsp chopped nuts, plus extra for topping
• 40 g dark chocolate
• 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

1. Arrange the cookies in a small container or on a lined plate to form the base.
2. Add the cottage cheese, banana, peanut butter, and chopped nuts to a blender or food processor, then blend until completely smooth and creamy.
3. Spoon the filling over the cookie base and shape it into a thick bar or mini cake.
4. Melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil until smooth, either in short microwave bursts or over a double boiler.
5. Pour the chocolate coating over the chilled filling, spreading it evenly so it drips down the sides.
6. Sprinkle extra chopped nuts on top for crunch.
7. Refrigerate overnight, or until fully set and firm enough to slice and serve.

Tip: For the smoothest texture, blend the cottage cheese filling very well and use a ripe banana for natural sweetness.
