Instructions

Soak the 10 dates in hot water for 10 minutes to soften, then drain well. Blend the dates with chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth to create the brownie base.
In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, cashew butter, remaining maple syrup, and vanilla. Mix until smooth, then gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Spread the date-chocolate mixture evenly as the bottom layer, then layer the cottage cheese mixture on top, pressing gently to cover evenly.
Freeze the dish for at least 1 hour until firm. After freezing, lift out using parchment paper and cut into squares.

Notes

Ensure dates are thoroughly soaked for the best blending results.
Using damp hands can make spreading the mixtures easier and less sticky.
