Notes
*If you can find whipped cottage cheese, this will eliminate the need to blend the cottage cheese!
*Unsweetened cocoa powder is recommended, it adds a rich, chocolate flavor without making the pudding too sweet. You could substitute chocolate protein powder for extra protein if desired.
*Pudding is best chilled, it set's up and creates a 'mousse' like texture!
