Light Chocolate Cheesecakes: A Guilt-Free Indulgence
These Light Chocolate Cheesecakes are a delicious and healthier way to enjoy a classic dessert! They’re easy to make, packed with protein, and perfect for a guilt-free indulgence.
Ingredients
- 2 cups nonfat cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups light whipped topping
- Optional garnishes: fresh berries or other toppings
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners. If using silicone muffin cups, there’s no need to grease them.
- Blend the Cottage Cheese: In a blender or food processor, puree the cottage cheese until completely smooth. This step is crucial for achieving a creamy and lump-free cheesecake.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the eggs, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, flour, and vanilla extract to the blender or food processor. Process until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 22 minutes, or until the center is just set.
- Cool and Chill: Let the cheesecakes cool completely to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours to allow them to set fully.
- Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecakes from the muffin cups and garnish as desired with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or your favorite toppings.
