If you’re looking for a healthier dessert that’s high in protein and low in sugar, I’ve got you! This “cheesecake” provides 18 grams of protein and 130 calories per serving. Using only three ingredients, it comes together easily in a blender and has the texture and taste of cheesecake. I prep and bake this ahead and store in fridge for a guilt free snack, dessert or even for breakfast. It helps to meet your protein goals, especially if you’re trying to amp up your protein intake.

The secret ingredient in this recipe is cottage cheese. I know there are a lot of “cottage cheese haters” out there but trust me, once it’s blended and baked, you won’t recognize it. You can customize your cheesecake toppings as you wish. I like to add fresh berries for color, taste and added fiber. 

Enjoy,

Ingredients:
1 cup low fat cottage cheese (Good Culture brand is the best!)
5 oz vanilla flavored yogurt
1 large egg
Optional: added sweetener of choice (I use 1/4 tsp liquid stevia. You could also drizzle honey on top when serving.)

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray two small ramekin baking dishes with avocado oil or spray oil of choice. Set aside.
2. In a high speed blender, add cottage cheese, vanilla yogurt, egg and sweetener of choice until mixture is blended and smooth.
3. Pour mixture and divide between two ramekins. Bake for 20 minutes or until set.
4. Remove from oven and cool on baking rack for a bit. Cover and cool in refrigerator for at least a couple hours before serving. No one likes a warm cheesecake! 

5. Serve and top with your favorite cheesecake toppings.
