Ingredients

Servings

Cheesecake

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt 8 oz, Dannon Light and Fit vanilla flavor
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 4 oz, plain, non-fat
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese 4 oz, Philadelphia brand, 1/3 less fat
  • 1 g scoop chocolate casein protein powder Cellucor brand
  • 2 tbsp Dutch cocoa powder 12 g
  • 1/2 tbsp black cocoa powder 3 g
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Cherry Topping

  • 1 cup Cherry 150 grams, halved and pitted
  • 1 tbsp honey (1/2 oz)
  • 1 tsp water cold
  • 1/4 tsp arrowroot flour

Crust

  • 1/3 cup pecan halves (37 g)
  • 1/4 cup coconut flakes 20 g, unsweetened
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Dutch cocoa powder 9 g
  • 1/2 tbsp black cocoa powder 3 g

Instructions

  1. Add cherries and honey to a small sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Continue to boil for 10-15 minutes or until cherries are softened. Mix arrowroot flour into cold water until dissolved, then stir into boiling cherry mixture. Set aside to cool in refrigerator.
  2. Add crust ingredients to a Nutribullet with milling blade (or food processor) and pulse until pecans are finely ground and the crust can be pressed together easily. Divide evenly into 4 serving glasses and press down into the glass. Set aside.
  3. Add cheesecake ingredients to a large bowl and combine using a hand mixer. Scoop into a piping bag and pipe cheesecake mixture into the 4 serving glasses.
  4. Add cherry topping over the cheesecake mixture and top with chocolate curls and whipped cream, if desired.
