Chocolate Yogurt Cheesecake

Light, fruity, happy. Perfect for hot summer days or if a simple cheesecake is not what you are looking for. It is a light combination of cheesecake and yogurt with cherries to add some fruity flavor in to it. You can also use some other fruits like mandarins, peaches or any kind of berries. It is really very easy.

First of all, you need the chocolate base. You find the easy recipe for it here.

1. Dissolve 4 teaspoons of gelatin powder in half a cup of hot water and put aside to cool down. Then, get the cherries out of the glass into a sieve to remove the juice.

2. Now we need (all ingredients need to be cold straight out of the fridge):
500g cottage cheese
500g creamy Greek yogurt
200g raw sugar
juice from 1 lemon
Combine it with a blender to get a creamy smooth texture. Add the cool gelatin fluid and blend together. Depends on your room temperature and how cold were your ingredients, either your cheese mixture is already starting to set and you are ready to put the cake together, or you put it into a fridge to start the setting process before you go proceed. That’s pretty much it. Now put the cake together: 1. the sponge, 2. then a half of the cheese mixture, 3. the fruits, 4. the remaining cheese. Leave it in a fridge for at least 3 hours before serving. Grate some dark chocolate on top before serving. Enjoy!
