Ingredients

• ¼ Cup Graham Cracker (Crumbs/Crush them up)
• 2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
• 2 Tablespoons Butter (Melted)
• 2 Large Whole Eggs
• 1 Cup Cottage Cheese (Fat Free, Low Fat, or Full Fat all work great)
• 4 Ounces Greek Yogurt (Complimenting flavor)
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 5 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
• 1 Tablespoon Chocolate Chips (Melted (I like Sugar Free or Semi-Sweet))
• 1-2 Tablespoons Sweetener

Instructions

1. Melt your Butter
2. Mix your Graham Cracker crumb, Cocoa Powder, and Butter together in a bowl
3. Coat your Cheesecake pan or dish with some non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper
4. Press your mixed up Crust ingredients into the bottom of your pan or dish until compacted and level
5. Bake your Crust on 375F/190C for 10-15 minutes or until the edges start to look cooked
6. Add all of your Cheesecake ingredients into either a blender or food processor
7. Blend or process them until smooth (don't over-mix!)
8. Pour your mix on top of your Crust or into your pan or dish (I used a 6'' round pan) if you aren't using a crust
9. Bake it on 325F/162C for around 50-60 minutes
10. Let your Cheesecake cool, wrap it up, and put it into the fridge for at least a few hours but preferably overnight (maximum cheesecake texture)
