ChocoCheese Cups

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think cottage cheese would be in my house. I remember this stuff from when I was a kid.....my brother ate it....he'd pour maple syrup on it and eat it.....and I won't tell you what I thought it looked like!! Somehow, to me, this lumpy white stuff just didin't look appetizing. And then I came across this recipe and tweaked it BIG TIME!!! I'd hate to think what the PointsPlus™ would be using 'full flavored' ingredients......makes me shudder! Anyway.....this little dessert is nice and chocolatey. Add a dollop of fat-free whipped topping like I did in this picture for no added PointsPlus™.  And I got to try out my new blender! I hope you make this and enjoy it.....I did!!!

ChocoCheese Cups

Makes 6 Servings @ 2 PointsPlus™ OR

Makes 4 Servings @3PointsPlus™

1 enveloped unflavored gelatin

1/2 cup cold water
3/4 cup fat-free cottage cheese
4 oz. Neufchatel cream cheese, cut up
1/3 cup Splenda granulated
3 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup fat-free milk
1 tsp vanilla

In a small saucepan, stir together gelatin and water; let stand 5 minutes. Heat & stir over low heat until gelatine dissolves.

Meanwhile, in a blender container or food processor bowl, combine cottage cheese, cream cheese, Splenda granulated & cocoa powder. If using the blender, add 2 – 3 TBSP of the milk to make blending easier. Cover & blend or process until smooth (1 – 2 minutes). Stop to scrape the sides if necessary. Add milk, vanilla & warm gelatin. Cover & blend or process until combined.

Chill mixture, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds when spooned (@30 minutes). Spoon into dessert cups. Cover & chill 4 hours or until firm.

Enjoy!
