Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s jump right into the fun part! First, in a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, flour, cocoa powder, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, baking powder, pinch of salt, and vanilla extract if you’re using it. I love to use a fork to thoroughly mix everything together until it’s smooth with no lumps. You really want that consistency to be just right for the best lava effect!
