INGREDIENT NOTES:

LOW-FAT COTTAGE CHEESE:

  • This low-fat cottage cheese includes fewer calories. This is also the main product for this dessert. This provides us with protein. It can mix nicely. It also provides creaminess to the candies. Other alternatives are silken tofu or Greek yogurt.

UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER:

  • The good thing about this product is that it does not have calories. Also, the sugar level remains low since it has no sugar. The chocolate taste comes from using this. An alternative idea is cocoa powder.

SWEETENER:

  • We utilize a sweetener with zero calories. This is useful in keeping WW points lower. The dessert still remains sweet and flavorful. Other ideas for alternatives include honey or maple syrup. Using them will cause WW points to increase.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • The aroma of the candies becomes nice with the addition of this. Vanilla extract also improves the dessert’s taste.

OAT FLOUR:

  • Oat flour makes the candies firmer. Flour also improves the thickness of the candy mix. Another substitution ideas include ground oats or protein powder.

  • This product is optional to use. These will improve the chocolate taste in the candies. Using cacao nibs is also an option.
