OMGoodness!!! Y’all. I’m back on track with going low carb and ‘good girl’ and the scales show it. But I wanted a special treat to celebrate getting back on track. One that wouldn’t wreck my progress, but that would rock my world. I think this is IT. I got really inspired to replicate one of my favorite naughty treats: a <whispering> butterfinger blizzard.
Now, this is really more of a milkshake texture but the flavor and textures are all there for me. I would not take the name of butterfingers in vain…this takes me there.

The peanut buttery goodness…
the little bits of toffee like crispies…
interrupted but the velvety chunks of chocolate.
Give this one a try, and come back and tell me what you think!
For my Trim Healthy sisters, the full recipe is a meal or snack S, and I recommend using a half recipe as an S dessert.
Note: you will need to whip up a batch of these AH-mazing caramel coconut crunch to give you that yummy buttery crunch. One batch of this fills a quart jar, so you can make a LOT of these yummy milkshakes. 
AND if you somehow get tired of the butterfinger flavor, you can always make a Samoan milkshake.
Low Carb Butterfinger Milkshake Printable and Pinnable
- ½ cup 2% or nonfat cottage cheese (I like Daisy brand)

- ½ teaspoon butterscotch (affiliate link-where I buy mine), butter, or caramel extract
- ½ ounce stevia sweetened chocolate, or 85% dark chocolate (I use ½ of the Aldi's brand small bar) or skinny chocolate
- 2 tablespoons coconut caramel crunch
- Add all ingredients *except* for chocolate and coconut to blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- In last few seconds, add in chocolate and caramel crunch.

- Indulge your taste buds and come leave a comment and share this recipe on Facebook. 🙂
Update!: Trim Healthy Mamas, this is an S meal or snack or use half the recipe as a dessert.
To make garnish mini chocolate curls, bring chocolate to warmish room temp, and use a veggie peeler along the thin sides.

I can’t wait to try this sounds decadent,,, Love desserts..
I have the ingredients on my shopping list. Butterfinger slays me. Thanks!!!!!
Great recipe! I have come to love butterscotch extract and often make smoothies just like this but with Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese:) Yum!!
Thanks, Heather! I love the tang of Greek yogurt with tart recipes too!
This shake is going to kill me! I’m almost SICK from eating it….it is SO GOOD! Whoever came up with the coconut crunchies is GENIUS! I don’t even like coconut, but I’m having trouble not just taking a spoon and the jar of crunchies for my lunch tomorrow! Thanks, Gwen!
Hahaha! It’s pretty amazing, huh! Jennifer Morris is the genius behind the coconut crunch!
So delicious!! The crunch is amazing. The notes state this is a S meal, but says it serves two. Is one serving, about 1.5 cups a meal serving and for a snack you would then half that (1/4 of original amount). Hope this makes since.
You can consume the entire batch as a meal if you’d like. It’s way too much for me, so I figure it as 2 servings. 🙂 So you can do all 3 cups as a meal, or 1.5 cups as a dessert after a meal. 🙂
Do you use whey in the recipe?
Do you mean protein powder? I don’t. The cottage cheese contributes the protein. But you CAN add protein powder or gelatin to add an additional boost of protein!
I could’ve sworn that a while back, you mentioned that if you ate this whole thing, it was a light Crossover…..am I going crazy?
This one is an S all the way. 🙂
Instead of choc, try Carnation Instant Breakfast pkg. Also 1/4 banana for sugar and creaminess.
Alternatively, 1/3 avocado for banana
Hi Harry! I try to avoid packaged foods that have sugars, but this is a really versatile recipe that you can make subs to. 🙂
Can one use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Coconut flour is a different animal than almond flour. I haven’t tried it, but maybe ask on the THM groups to see if anyone else has tried subbing it for this?
