Instrucciones

Blend the cottage cheese until smooth and creamy using a blender or a food processor.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla, cacao powder, and salt, then blend again until fully combined.
Add the quinoa flakes and blend until a thick, uniform dough forms, scraping down the sides as needed.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and chill for 30 minutes to firm up.
Scoop small portions and roll into bite-sized balls, then place them on a parchment-lined tray.
Refrigerate the balls for 15 minutes to help them hold their shape.
In the meantime, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil using a double boiler.
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate to coat evenly, garnish with crushed pistachios, and refrigerate until the chocolate is fully set. Enjoy!
