Sugar-free Chocolate Chip Cottage “Cheesecake” – no bake, lower carb)

Jump to Recipe

Craving dessert? My Sugar-free Chocolate Chip Cottage “Cheesecake” is a smart, no-added-sugar, single-serve solution to soothing a sweet tooth. And, it’s loaded with more than enough protein to stand alone as a quick meal thanks to cottage cheese and collagen powder (193 calories, 11g carb, 29.5g protein per serving).

This sugar-free cheesecake dessert features blended collagen and cottage cheese to create a high-protein, lower carb healthy dessert with no added sugar. Great for post workout snack or bedtime snack.

The secret to making a high-protein cheesecake dessert is to process cottage cheese in the blender until creamy. I also add a serving of collagen hydrolysate powder to up to protein and reap the additional health benefits — for me particularly that is joint and bone health as well as overall wellness.

This is a single-serve dessert recipe, which is nice when I want a healthier dessert and want to stay out of my hubby and kid’s ice cream and Oreos, lol! However, if you want to meal prep a few (it will keep for several days in an air-tight container), simple multiply the ingredient list by however many servings you need.

This single-serve, sugar-free dessert incorporates cottage cheese and collagen blended smooth to create a healthy cheesecake experience -- sugar-free chocolate chips and diced strawberries make it extra yummy!

As for the collagen, I used the Collagen Hydrolysate from Great Lakes Wellness– I used the vanilla flavor, but unflavored works too, just add a splash of vanilla extract and a packet or two of stevia for sweetness.  I’ve been using this brand for three years, and love it – you can use my discount code THEFITFORK10OFF to save 10% on your order.

Sugar-free chocolate chips are also key – you just toss them right in the blender with the collagen cheesecake mixture and they chop up into smaller bits.
