Notes
- Make sure you let the melted chocolate mixture sit for 2 minutes before folding it into everything, because you don't want the cheese to curdle.
- Your chocolate brownies with cottage cheese will still look a little wobbly/jiggly when they come out of the oven (but shouldn't be really wobbly), as they will still continue cooking as they cool down. You don't want to over-cook these.
- Every oven cooks differently, so start checking on these at 20 minutes. They could also take up to 25 minutes.
- You can use brown sugar in this recipe if you want a more caramlized flavor.
- The cottage cheese has to be blended, otherwise the texture won't be right.
