Equipment

Materials

Optional Crust

  • ¼ Cup Graham Cracker Crumbs/Crush them up
  • 2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter Melted

Cheesecake

  • 2 Large Whole Eggs
  • 1 Cup Cottage Cheese Fat Free, Low Fat, or Full Fat all work great
  • 4 Ounces Greek Yogurt Complimenting flavor
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 5 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Chocolate Chips Melted (I like Sugar Free or Semi-Sweet)
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Sweetener
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Optional Crust

  • Melt your Butter
  • Mix your Graham Cracker crumb, Cocoa Powder, and Butter together in a bowl
  • Coat your Cheesecake pan or dish with some non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper
  • Press your mixed up Crust ingredients into the bottom of your pan or dish until compacted and level
  • Bake your Crust on 375F/190C for 10-15 minutes or until the edges start to look cooked

Protein Cheesecake

  • Add all of your Cheesecake ingredients into either a blender or food processor
  • Blend or process them until smooth (don't over-mix!)
  • Pour your mix on top of your Crust or into your pan or dish (I used a 6'' round pan) if you aren't using a crust
  • Bake it on 325F/162C for around 50-60 minutes
  • Let your Cheesecake cool, wrap it up, and put it into the fridge for at least a few hours but preferably overnight (maximum cheesecake texture)
