  3. Blend until smooth: Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well incorporated.
  4. Taste and adjust: Taste the dip and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or maple syrup. If it's too thick, you can add a splash of milk or water to reach your desired consistency.

  5. Chill (optional): For a thicker consistency, you can refrigerate the dip for 20-30 minutes before serving, but it's also delicious right away!
  6. Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve with fresh fruits or your favorite dippers.

Notes

  • Texture Adjustments: For a creamier texture, feel free to substitute Greek yogurt for some of the cottage cheese or add more almond butter.
  • Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness to your preference by increasing or decreasing the honey/maple syrup.
  • Cocoa Intensity: Use dark cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor, or add a dash of cinnamon for a warm spice twist.
  • Storing Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
