Bonbons base

Add the cottage cheese, almond flour, crushed pistachios, Swerve sweetener, and vanilla extract to a food processor. Blend until smooth and well combined. The mixture should be firm enough to shape.
Scoop and roll the mixture into bite-sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Coating options

Option 1: Pistachio Coating
Roll each ball immediately in crushed pistachios until fully coated. No need to freeze! This is a quick and easy way to enjoy them.
Option 2: Chocolate Coating
Place the shaped balls in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up. While theyu2019re freezing, melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil. Once the bonbons are ready, dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring theyu2019re fully coated. Place them back on the baking sheet to set.
Serve or store. After coating, your keto bonbons are ready to enjoy! For the chocolate-coated ones, let the chocolate harden before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

Depending on the type of cottage cheese you use, the mixture might be too wet or too dry. If it’s too wet and not forming into balls easily, just add more almond flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it sticks together. If it’s too dry, mix in a little more cottage cheese to get the right consistency. The key is to make the mixture firm but still sticky enough to hold shape. Protein boost. You could also add a scoop of protein powder to the mix if you’re looking to bump up your protein intake even more! This makes them a great option for a healthy dessert or even a high-protein snack.
