Instructions

Soak the 10 dates in hot water for 10 minutes until soft, then drain and blend them with the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth. This mixture will serve as the brownie base.
In a large bowl, mix the cottage cheese, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, cashew butter, the remaining maple syrup, and vanilla until fully combined.
Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Spread the date-chocolate mixture evenly across the bottom. Then, spread the cottage cheese mixture on top, smoothing it out with damp hands.
Freeze the assembled dish for at least 1 hour, until firm. Once firm, lift it out using the parchment paper and cut into squares for serving.

Notes

Using high-quality cottage cheese enhances the texture of the brownies.
Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup based on your preference.
These brownies can be stored in the freezer for a longer shelf-life.
