Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the sugar-free chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese until smooth and creamy.
Pour the melted chocolate into the blender with the cottage cheese and blend again to combine.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and sweetener, and blend once more until the mixture is fully combined.
Divide the mixture evenly between two greased ramekins.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Allow the cheesecakes to cool completely before serving. For an extra treat, top with sugar-free whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Dairy-Free: Substitute the cottage cheese with a dairy-free alternative like Kite Hill’s almond milk cream cheese.
Flavor Additions: Add ½ tsp of cinnamon or 1 tbsp of peanut butter for extra flavor.
Nutty Crunch: Top with crushed pecans or walnuts for added texture.
Storage: Store the cheesecakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to restore creamy texture.
