Process

In a mixing bowl, whip the thawed coconut whipped topping and peanut butter until smooth and fluffy.
Add the blended cottage cheese and whip for 5 seconds to incorporate.
Sprinkle in the vanilla protein powder and PB powder and mix on low for 5–10 seconds, then finish by folding with a spatula to keep the mixture airy.
Add vanilla and maple syrup (if using).
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl.
Use the back of a spoon to create a domed mousse swirl on top.
Freeze for 1–2 hours until chilled and slightly firm.

Make PB Cups by melted chocolate and coconut oil until smooth. Pour into mini muffin liners in a mini muffin tray and freeze 5 minutes. Mix PB mixture ingredients together, press into chocolate lined muffin liners, top with more melted chocolate, and freeze another 30 minutes
Top with chopped peanut butter cups and a drizzle of melted peanut butter.
Serve with graham crackers for dipping.

I’ll be honest- I overwhipped it when adding the protein powder. I realized it when it went from fluffy to flat in an instant. I almost scratched the whole thing, but I got some on my finger, tried it, and MMM it was delicious!

Moral of the story- it will taste incredible whether it’s light and fluffy like cool whip, or a little thicker like yogurt!

FAQ

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese?

Yes — Greek yogurt works, but cottage cheese gives a thicker, creamier, more mousse‑like texture.

Can I use whey protein?

You can, but whey tends to get gummy. Bone broth protein or plant‑based blends create a thicker, smoother dip.

How long does it keep?

Store in the fridge up to 3 days. If frozen overnight, let it soften 10–15 minutes before serving.

Can I make this dairy‑free?

Yes — use dairy‑free whipped topping, dairy‑free yogurt, and a plant‑based protein powder.

Does it taste like cottage cheese?

No — once blended and mixed with peanut butter, it becomes completely creamy and dessert‑like.

It’s definitely one that can be enjoyed just by the spoonful!
