Protein Chocolate Cheesecake

(serves 4)

Ingredients:
250g fat free cottage cheese
1/2 cup low fat chocolate milk
4 scoops of low carb chocolate protein powder
5 heaping tablespoons of organic peanut butter

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a blender, combine 250g cottage cheese and 1/2 cup low fat chocolate milk and blend until creamy and smooth. Remove from the blender and place into a mixing bowl. Next, add 4 scoops of protein powder and mix thoroughly. Finally, add in the 5 tbsp organic peanut butter, one scoop at a time, blending until smooth.
In a small 4-inch ramekin, pour the mixture. Fill 1/2 of another deep oven pan with hot water and place the ramekin inside of the oven pan so that the water comes approximately 1/2 way up the outside of the ramekin containing the chocolate mixture. Place the whole thing into the oven and bake for 40-60 minutes.
The dessert will be finished when it is slightly firm to the touch. When finished, pull from the oven and allow to cool for several hours. When cool to the touch, place in the fridge and cool over night. Serve cold or at room temperature
