Double Chocolate Cheesecake
Remember when your parents used to tell you, "No! You can't have dessert for breakfast!"...well we say YOU CAN! Low Carb and PACKED with protein, this recipe is our take on traditional cheesecake using a very untraditional ingredient: cottage cheese. Now before you run off thinking, "Mom and dad were right on this one" HEAR US OUT!! The cottage cheese is blended to a creamy consistency so you'll never even know it's there! Neither will anyone else...that's IF you decide to share this one!
