Marry Me No Bake Chocolate Protein Cheesecake (Lower Sugar, High Fiber)

Jump to Recipe

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.

Ingredients

  • chocolate date brownie crust
    1 cup almond flour
    1/3 cup flax meal
    1/2 cup cocoa powder
    1 cup medjool dates, pitted
    1/2 cup runny almond butter (or cashew or sunflower seed butter)
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1/4 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk, plus 1–2 tbsp as needed

  • thick & creamy chocolate protein cheesecake filling
    1½ cups 2% or full-fat cottage cheese
    ⅔ cup lakanto chocolate chips, melted
    1/3 cup chocolate protein powder
    2 tbsp cocoa powder
    2–3 tbsp maple syrup or sugar-free syrup, to taste
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    pinch of sea salt

  • topping
    1 cup fresh raspberries

Directions

  • line an 8-inch springform pan or square pan with parchment paper. add all crust ingredients to a food processor. blend until a thick, sticky dough forms that holds together when pressed. add an extra tablespoon or two of milk if needed.
  • press crust firmly and evenly into the prepared pan. place in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
    add cottage cheese to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • add melted (slightly cooled) chocolate, protein powder, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and salt. blend again until thick, glossy, and mousse-like.
  • for best texture: continue blending or whipping for an extra 30–60 seconds to fully aerate and thicken the filling.
  • spread filling evenly over the crust and smooth the top. freeze for at least 4-5 hours until fully set. top with fresh raspberries before slicing. let sit at room temperature 5–8 minutes for clean cuts. store in the fridge or freezer.

  1. 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 😬
