Nutella Cottage Cheese Pudding has just 4 ingredients and comes together in a snap! It’s based on my delicious Cottage Cheese Chocolate Pudding, but this recipe has the flavors of hazelnuts and chocolate in a rich creamy dessert with no guilt, low sugar, and lots of protein.

I really can’t get enough of this delicious dessert! And if you like cottage cheese, you seriously have to try it. It’s so good.

Check out the “flavor variation ideas” section for details on the Salted Caramel Cottage Cheese Pudding. BTW, I have one more idea of another flavor – I hope it works out!

Cottage cheese soars in popularity

Cottage Cheese is really having its day in the spotlight, isn’t it!

And, of course, everyone loves Nutella with its smooth hazelnut and chocolate flavors.

These whipped cottage cheese recipes are all over the internet. And for good reason!

I mean, l they’re so delicious. They take just minutes to prepare. This one is a no bake and no cook recipe.

And it’s a healthy dessert that’s actually good for you and tastes delicious! Did I mention how good it tastes?

Can’t get enough of the cottage cheese craze? Be sure to check out my Cottage Cheese Ranch Dressing and the latest Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough recipe.

It’s only about 275 calories per serving.

You could even call this no bake Nutella cheesecake pudding.

two bowls of pudding, one with a spoon in it.

How to make

You can eat this for breakfast, as a light snack, or as a healthy dessert treat that will satisfy your chocolate cravings without all the unwanted calories.

The full printable recipe ingredients and instructions are available in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. You can find important tips and tricks in the post.

Grab all 4 of your ingredients. For the cottage cheese and the cream cheese, feel free to use whole fat, low fat, or non-fat versions as you see fit. Full fat will be richer, thicker, and creamier. Lower fat will be thinner but fewer calories.

Combine all ingredients in food processor or blender, and blend until very smooth, scraping down the sides once or twice.

I find the food processor easier to use for this pudding. And, you can get all of the mixture out when it’s done. But either will work.

a food processor with ingredients in it on left and the open food processor with the ingredients blended on the right.

Blend on high until it’s creamy and smooth; it doesn’t have to be completely lump free.

Spoon half of the mixture, or about 1/3 cup pudding into each of 2 serving dishes.

For a thicker pudding, leave them in the fridge for a few hours or overnight to allow it to set more.

Keep it in the fridge, covered, for up to 5 days.

Flavor variation ideas

I’ve experimented with this dessert and different flavors.

It’s great with 1/4 cup peanut butter instead of the Nutella. I like to add a spoonful of berry jam or some fresh fruit for a PB&J kind of flavor.

It’s also great with 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce instead of the Nutella for a Salted Caramel Cottage Cheese Pudding. I like to sprinkle a little salt, especially {affiliate link} Fleur de Sel, on top of the puddings. Use a good quality salted caramel sauce, especially a homemade one. You could even drizzle a little more caramel over the top for serving.
