Instructions
1
Prep
Drain excess liquid from 220g cottage cheese. Crush 12g freeze-dried strawberries to coarse powder. In a medium bowl, whisk cottage cheese, 20g maple syrup, 0.4 tsp vanilla extract, and 0.1 tsp sea salt until smooth. Stir in crushed strawberries, 30g dark chocolate chips, 16g chia seeds, and 14g ground flaxseed until thick and scoopable.
2
Simmer
Cover bowl and refrigerate at 4°C for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until chia and flax fully absorb moisture and mixture firms noticeably.
3
Build
Working quickly, scoop mixture into 6 roughly equal 50g portions using two spoons. Gently roll each between your palms into a smooth sphere, keeping contact with cold surface.
4
Finish
Roll each bite in 6g crushed freeze-dried strawberries until evenly coated. Return to parchment-lined tray and refrigerate at 4°C for 15 minutes until set firm.
5
Plate
Portion 3 bites into each of 2 airtight containers. Refrigerate up to 4 days. Serve chilled alongside fresh strawberries or cold milk.
