High-Protein Chocolate Cheesecake

Ingredients

• 1 cup dark chocolate (melted; approximately 170g)
• 2 cup cottage cheese (approximately 450g)
• 3 eggs (large)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. 2

   Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments or using a double boiler until smooth.

3. 3

   In a blender, combine the melted dark chocolate, cottage cheese, and three eggs.

4. 4

   Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and no lumps from the cottage cheese remain.

5. 5

   Pour the mixture into a prepared baking pan (such as a 6-inch springform pan or small cake tin lined with parchment paper).

6. 6

   Bake for 30 minutes until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to fully set before serving.

Notes

For the best texture, use full-fat cottage cheese. If you prefer a sweeter cheesecake, you can add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the blender, though the dark chocolate typically provides enough sweetness.
