- 1 cup cottage cheese full fat or low fat
- 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder unsweetened

- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar or sweetener of choice

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.
- Mix gluten free cookie crumbs with melted butter and a pinch of salt. Press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes, then let it cool.
- In a blender or food processor, add cottage cheese and cream cheese. Blend until smooth. Add cocoa powder, melted chocolate, sugar, vanilla, salt, and eggs. Blend again until glossy.
- Pour the chocolate filling onto the crust. Bake for 40 to 55 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Let the cheesecake cool on the counter, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, overnight for best results.
Notes
Blend longer for a smoother texture and ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Chill time is crucial for the best texture.
