Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 3 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cornstarch for structure
  • Optional: pinch of salt or splash of almond milk if too thick
  • Optional: 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder
Toppings (optional)
  • Melted dark chocolate
  • Whipped cream
  • Coconut flakes
  • Fresh or frozen berries

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  2. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
  3. Grease two ramekins and divide the batter between them.
  4. Bake 25–30 minutes until edges are set and the center still has a soft jiggle.
  5. Cool at room temperature, then chill for at least 1 hour for the best creamy texture.

Notes

 

  • If you want a fluffier texture, add a splash of almond milk before blending.
  • For a richer “true cheesecake” feel, use whole-milk Greek yogurt.
  • These set even better after an overnight chill.
