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>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>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><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,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","course":[412],"cuisine":[],"special-diet":[],"skill-level":[416],"collection":[],"recipe-tag":[591,496,593,592],"class_list":{"0":"post-16591","1":"recipe","2":"type-recipe","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"course-healthier-dessert","7":"skill-level-easy","8":"recipe-tag-cacao","9":"recipe-tag-cottage-cheese","10":"recipe-tag-graham-cracker","11":"recipe-tag-sugar"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe\/16591","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16591"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe\/16591\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16763,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe\/16591\/revisions\/16763"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16591"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"course","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/course?post=16591"},{"taxonomy":"cuisine","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine?post=16591"},{"taxonomy":"special-diet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/special-diet?post=16591"},{"taxonomy":"skill-level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/skill-level?post=16591"},{"taxonomy":"collection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/collection?post=16591"},{"taxonomy":"recipe-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe-tag?post=16591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
