Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, scoop in cottage cheese and add unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy, resembling brownie batter.
  2. Check the consistency of your mixture. If too runny, stir in more cocoa powder or protein powder until thickened.
  3. Add peanut butter and any optional ingredients like instant espresso powder or peppermint extract. Fold them into the batter gently.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 15-30 minutes to help the mixture firm up.
  5. Shape the mixture into bite-sized balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the bites to firm up completely.
