Just another quick little recipe that I have featured on Instagram before but haven’t managed to post here – Chocolate Cheesecake Fudge.

In the past, if there was ever a choice of cake going around, my preference was always cheesecake. Not sure why, but it just hit the spot. The more I learn about good fats, blood sugar spikes with too much starchy carbs and the rest of the havoc caused by wheat products (currently reading Wheat Belly by William Davis MD and having mind blown,) I am coming to understand more why my body would choose this higher fat treat option. It knows best!

So now we are on a healthier path, we can improve on the old recipes, and still have it taste amazing. So, for those who don’t have an issue with dairy, time to cook!

Chocolate Cheesecake Fudge

¼ cup Philly cheese

1 TBS honey

1 TBS cacao powder

1 TBS 40UP – Collagen Protein Powder*

1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

Soften philly cheese, mix everything together with a spoon.

Press into a lined tray, chill in the fridge and cut into squares when firm.

Makes approx 20 little squares.

These treats with nutrient packed ingredients are so satisfying that you only need one or two little pieces with your cup of tea and everyone’s happy. A far cry from the days when I was eyeing off the second huge piece, before even finishing the first! Arrrgh!

Happy days now,

Update 2024: The protein powder I eat now is a combination of whey protein and Peptan Collagen and it’s called 40UP – Collagen Protein Powder.

2020 Update: I don’t use as much Philly Cheese these days opting for cottage cheese which is a bit lower in fat. Maybe for this recipe I would use half and half?
