Unless of course, you think it\u2019s a high protein, super versatile base for many delicious treats &#8211; then you\u2019re right!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t like cottage cheese, it\u2019s probably because of the texture. This is why whipped cottage cheese is a total game-changer.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Cacao Cottage Cheesecake tastes more like a rich chocolate mousse, but we\u2019re calling it a cheesecake because of the graham cracker \u201ccrust\u201d. Whatever you want to call it, we hope you make this and enjoy it guilt-free because each serving has 14 grams of protein!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NOTES:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We used gluten-free graham crackers as the base. You can easily skip the \u201ccrust\u201d completely if you prefer.&nbsp;<\/li><li>We added chopped pecans and pistachios to the top but you could also garnish with fresh raspberries or chopped hazelnuts!&nbsp;<\/li><li>The dessert is so rich that you could easily split this into even smaller servings.&nbsp;<\/li><li>We layered this into mason jars. Ramekins or any smaller dishes would work as well.\u202f&nbsp;<\/li><li>You may want to refrigerate before serving so your cheesecake is a bit more solid. &nbsp;<\/li><li>If you prefer a stronger chocolate flavor, try adding more cacao or sugar or add a very small amount of brewed coffee or instant coffee. An additional \u00bc-\u00bd teaspoon should be enough to bring out the chocolate flavor.\u202f&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">INSTRUCTIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Add cottage cheese, cacao, and powdered sugar to a high-powered blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Layer crushed graham crackers, cottage cheese mixture, a second layer of crushed graham crackers, more cottage cheese mixture, and top with chopped nuts.\u202f&nbsp;<\/li><li>Serve &amp; enjoy!&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":16585,"template":"","course":[412],"cuisine":[],"special-diet":[],"skill-level":[416],"collection":[],"recipe-tag":[591,496,593,592],"class_list":["post-16591","recipe","type-recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","course-healthier-dessert","skill-level-easy","recipe-tag-cacao","recipe-tag-cottage-cheese","recipe-tag-graham-cracker","recipe-tag-sugar"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!--
