Frozen Protein Cheesecake Bites

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Servings 1

Ingredients
  

  • Filling
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese, blended smooth
  • 4 oz light cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder
  • 3 tbsp powdered monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Chocolate Shell
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt, to top

Instructions
 

  • Blend the cottage cheese. Blend cottage cheese alone for 60 full seconds until completely smooth. Do not skip or rush this step. Grainy bites come from under-blended cottage cheese.
  • Make the filling. Add blended cottage cheese, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla, and salt to a bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until fully combined and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  • Freeze. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on both sides. Spread filling evenly. Freeze until completely solid, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Cut into squares. Lift the frozen slab out using the parchment overhang. Cut into 12 equal squares. Return to the freezer while you melt the chocolate.
  • Melt and dip. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a deep bowl in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring between each. Dip each frozen square, let excess drip off, place on a parchment-lined sheet, and immediately top with flaky sea salt.
  • Set and store. Freeze 15 minutes to fully set the shell. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 weeks.
  • Pro tip: Work in small batches while dipping. If the squares start to soften, return them to the freezer for 10 minutes. A deep, narrow bowl makes dipping much cleaner.
