Ingredients
Steps
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)).
Place 8oz of cottage cheese into a small food processor and process until completely smooth to remove all curds.
Transfer the smooth cottage cheese into a small oven-safe bowl or ramekin.
Crack 2 eggs into the bowl with the processed cottage cheese.
Add 3 tablespoons of cacao powder to the mixture.
Add 4 tablespoons of powdered monkfruit (or your preferred powdered sweetener) and a small splash of vanilla extract.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until you have a smooth, uniform batter.
Sprinkle chocolate chips on top if desired, then gently shake the bowl so they partially submerge into the batter to create the 'lava' effect.
Place the bowl in the oven and bake for 33-35 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
