Forget the Calories: This Silky Smooth No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake Is Your New Favorite Daily Treat

Many are used to thinking sweets aren’t allowed in the strict daily diet, though the reality is much more optimistic than that. Diving into social media trends once is enough to see that all kinds of cakes and pastry have become the part of healthy lifestyle (if they’re prepared in the right way).

Another good news is that even a chocolate cheesecake can be a low-calorie sweet treat if you follow this recipe — beware, it might become your new sweet obsession.

Here’s what you need: 1 egg, 80 g of banana, 20 g of rice flour or regular flour, 25 g of cocoa, 3 g of baking powder, 130 ml of 2.5% milk, 320 g of 5% soft cottage cheese, 10 g of gelatin, 50 ml of water, sugar substitute to your liking.

Mash the banana with a fork, add the egg, milk, rice flour, cocoa, and baking powder, and mix well until smooth. Pour the mixture into a 16 cm diameter baking pan and cook in the microwave on high power for 6–7 minutes, then cool completely.

Soak the gelatin in water, heat until dissolved, without bringing to a boil. Combine the cottage cheese with milk, cocoa, sugar substitute, and gelatin, and beat with a blender until fluffy.

Cover the pan with plastic wrap, place the cake layer on top, spread the cottage cheese filling on top, and place in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours until firm.

What you'll get is a light chocolate cheesecake that is loved by both weight watchers and those with a sweet tooth.
