My new favorite food aka Protein Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake Brownie Amazingness


I am having a slow lazy day. It is drizzly and gray out and I have some time to spare so I have spent the day wrapping up unfinished posts. I am new at blogging and realize that my creative process isn't all that blog compatible. I'm working on it but I think I will always have a few unpublished blogs hanging around while I rocket on to the next project. Se la vie.



Several months ago I created something called Better Than Cheesecake and have been enjoying it and sharing it with friends ever since.

But last week I discovered my new favorite food. It is unlike anything I have eaten before so comparisons are difficult but I'll try.

Imagine a delicious chocolatey treat that is soft and light like mousse, creamy like fudge and yet still dense and rich like a brownie all enjoyed with  a spoon. There you go. Oh yes,  It is super good for you on the dessert scale. Let's be serious, It is good on any scale. 130 Calories, 1.5g Fat, 12 g Protein. You can visit here for a more complete nutrition breakdown or even add it to your Livestrong calorie counter. This is so good I could eat it everyday, and by could I mean I do.

Directions:


Preheat Oven to 300*
I have a convection so you may need to adjust times/temp.

In Blender combine:
24 oz Fat Free Cottage Cheese (how could you not guess this by now?)
1C Water- good water you would drink. This matters
3 Egg Whites

Blend Together til Smooth, then add:

3/4 C Brownie mix (ignore the kind on my box, any kind will do. also, this kind comes with a pack of fudge. I do not use it and I don't recommend it.)

Blend again to incorporate.

Pour mixture evenly into approx. 8 small oven safe containers. I recommend glass or ceramic.
Place all containers on edged baking sheet and cook on middle rack.

Bake for 18-20+ minutes depending on oven until edges rise and middle moves just a bit.

Remove and cool. Serve cold.
