Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of cottage cheese (for creaminess and high protein)
- 1 cup of cake flour or whole wheat flour for a healthier alternative
- 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup as a natural sweetener
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance flavor
- 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess
- Chocolate or vanilla coating (choose dark chocolate for a healthier option)

Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and your choice of flour. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Using your hands or a small scoop, form the mixture into uniform balls and place on a lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
- Melt your chocolate or vanilla coating. Dip each cake ball into the coating and place on a silicone mat or parchment paper. Add toppings like nuts or coconut before the coating sets.
- Chill the coated cake pops for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Serve on sticks or arrange decoratively.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months and thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Use dairy-free alternatives like coconut yogurt and silken tofu to make it dairy-free.
