Looking for a healthy indulgence for Valentine's Day? Start prepping this delicious chocolate cheesecake tonight. <3  

*** CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE ***
(AT Meal * 90 minute prep, cool overnight)

What You'll Need:
* 250G fat-free cottage cheese
* 1/2C low-fat chocolate milk
* 4 scoops chocolate protein powder
* 5 heaping teaspoons organic peanut butter

What You'll Do
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a blender, combine cottage cheese and low-fat chocolate milk and blend until creamy and smooth. Remove from the blender and place into a mixing blow. Next, add protein powder and mix thoroughly. Finally, add in the organic peanut butter, one scoop at a time, blending until smooth.

Pour the mixture into a small 4-inch ramekin. Fill a deep oven pan half-full with hot water and place the ramekin inside of the oven pan so that the water comes approximately half way up the outside of the ramekin. Place the oven pan containing the ramekin into the oven and bake for 40-60 minutes, until slightly firm to the touch. 

When finished, pull from the oven and allow to cool for several hours. When cool to the touch, place in the fridge and cool over night. Serve cold or at room temperature. Makes 4 servings.
