this no bake chocolate protein cheesecake is rich, deeply chocolatey, and genuinely scrumptious, but still macro friendly enough to enjoy as a snack or dessert without feeling like you need to recover from it.
if you loved my viral marry me no bake cups, this is that recipe’s more grown-up, macro-aware sister.
it’s inspired by my marry me no bake raspberry chocolate mousse cups — same chocolate-raspberry romance, just baked into a cheesecake-style dessert that sets beautifully and slices clean!!

taste & texture
this cheesecake tastes like a cross between a fudgy brownie and a rich chocolate mousse, with just enough tang from the cottage cheese to mimic classic cheesecake flavor.
the crust is dense, chocolatey, and naturally sweetened with dates, while the filling is thick, creamy, and almost truffle-like once chilled.
the fresh raspberries on top cut through the richness perfectly and make every bite feel balanced instead of heavy.
why this version is more macro friendly
- higher protein thanks to cottage cheese and protein powder
- lower sugar using lakanto chocolate chips
- high fiber from flax, cocoa powder, almond flour, dates, and raspberries
- no baking, no gelatin, no complicated steps
it’s indulgent without being a sugar bomb, exactly how i love my desserts!

how easy this is to make
this recipe is entirely no bake and comes together in one food processor and one blender. the hardest part is waiting for it to chill. if you can press a crust into a pan and blend a filling until smooth, you can make this.
tips for the best texture
- blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth before adding anything else
- whip or blend the filling for an extra 30–60 seconds to fully aerate it
- let the melted chocolate cool slightly before adding so it doesn’t seize
- chill overnight for the cleanest slices

substitution options
- almond butter → cashew butter or sunflower seed butter
- cottage cheese → greek yogurt (will be softer, less sliceable)
- lakanto chocolate chips → date-sweetened or dark chocolate chips
- maple syrup → sugar-free syrup or omit entirely
- raspberries → strawberries, cherries, or leave plain
storage
store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. slices can also be frozen and thawed slightly before eating. it’s incredible straight from the freezer for a fudgier texture.

Can you use coconut flour and or what is the difference in the two?
hi! coconut flour wouldn’t be a 1:1 sub
How can I make this recipe vegan
thick dairy free coconut yogurt but it will take longer to set and lose protein content!
Hi Mary! Love your recipes ❤️ Can I use ground flaxseed to substitute flax meal without throwing the consitancy? I don’t have flax meal at the moment and can’t find any tricks to make my own on the internet 😬
hi! thanks so much! yes, as long as it’s finely ground 🙂
