Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 30 thin mints or mint cookies
- 3 tablespoons salted butter cold
- 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a large muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
- Add the cookies and butter to a food processor and process until it turns into cookie crumbs.
- Scoop 2 tablespoons of the cookie mixture into each muffin liner, press the crumbs into the bottom of the cups, and then up the sides to create a cookie bowl. Bake for 7 -9 minutes and then remove it from the oven and let it cool completely. Option to place them in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
- Add the cottage cheese to the food processor or a high-speed blender and process until the cottage cheese is smooth and creamy, 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cocoa powder and maple syrup to the cottage cheese and process until combined. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until the stiff peaks form.
- Add the cottage cheese mixture to the bowl and gently fold the whipped cream into the cottage cheese mixture.
- The cookie cups must be completely cool before adding the filling. When cool, add 2-3 tablespoons of the cottage cheese mixture to each cup.
- Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and let it set for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes
- Any type of cottage cheese will work for this recipe.
- If you don’t have Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies, any fudge mint cookie will work. Nature's Way or the Keebler brand will work.
- Be sure you whip the whipping cream into true stiff peaks and gently fold the cottage cheese into the cream to prevent the air from coming out of the whipped cream.
