Instructions

Soak the dates in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain.
Blend the softened dates with chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth—this will be your brownie base.
In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, cashew butter, remaining maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Press the date mixture evenly into the dish, then layer the cottage cheese mixture on top and smooth it out.
Freeze for at least 1 hour until firm. Cut into squares and serve directly from the freezer or let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Using good quality cottage cheese enhances texture and flavor.
Damp hands can make it easier to spread the mixture without sticking.
These brownies can be stored in the freezer for a cool treat anytime.
