2 Points per bite (makes 12 bites)
My niece calls these my “tiny chocolate fixes” because they look like brownie truffles but don’t hit you with the guilt. I keep a container in the fridge, and every time she visits, she steals one and tells me they’re “mini power balls.” 😂
Super filling, super easy, and perfect when you want something sweet but want to stay on track.
⭐ Ingredients (Lightened for WW)
- 1 cup fat-free cottage cheese (0 pts)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (0 pts)
- 3 tablespoons almond flour (4 pts total)
- 1 tablespoon powdered erythritol or monk fruit (0 pts)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (0 pts)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate protein powder, low-cal & low-sugar (2 pts total)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (0 pts)
- Pinch of sea salt (0 pts)
- Optional: 1½ tablespoons Lily’s sugar-free chocolate chips (2 pts total — still low)
Total batch: ~24 points → ~2 points per bite
🥣 Instructions
- In a bowl, mix fat-free cottage cheese, cocoa powder, almond flour, erythritol, vanilla, and protein powder.
- Stir until smooth. (You can blend the cottage cheese first if you want a truffle-like texture.)
- Add chia seeds and optional chocolate chips. Mix again.
- Scoop the mixture into 12 portions and roll into small balls.
- Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
- Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or freeze for 10–12 minutes if you’re impatient like me.
- Enjoy your low-point chocolate fix!
💡 Tips for Even Lower Points
- Swap almond flour for 1 extra teaspoon chia seeds + 1–2 tbsp rolled oats → reduces points a bit while keeping texture.
- Use 1 tbsp protein powder instead of 2 if you want the batch even lighter.
- Add a tiny pinch of instant coffee for a mocha flavor (0 pts, huge upgrade).
🧊 Storage
- Fridge: Up to 6–7 days in a sealed container
- Freezer: 1–2 months
