Chocolate Cottage Cheese Cheesecake (high protein) is a healthy, refined sugar-free dessert made with simple, nourishing ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup full fat cottage cheese
- ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot starch corn starch also works*
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup cacao
- 2 eggs
optional toppings
- berries of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Add all ingredient to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- Pour batter into a 6 inch spring form pan lined with parchment paper. Cover with foil.
- Bake for 50 minutes - 1 hour, until cooked, removing the foil after 20 minutes. You will know it is done being cooked when the edges are browned and the cake is not gooey.
- Let cake cool for 20 minutes sitting out in the pan. Then remove from the pan, add to a plate (leaving on the parchment paper) and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Add your favorite toppings and serve.
Notes
This makes 4 regular pieces, or 6 tiny pieces of cheesecake. Serving size is for ¼ of the cake.
*I have tested this recipe with both arrowroot and corn starch and found it to work well either way. Some readers have also tried it with coconut flour and said that it worked but I have not personally tried this.
