    Healthy Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

    This chocolate chip cheesecake is to die for. And its actually HEALTHY! Each slice is ONLY 215 calories and has 11g of protein.

    Several months ago, my good friend Simon from "The Diet Kitchen" let me make this chocolate chip cheesecake for his channel. It was seriously the kindest thing anyone's ever done for me on YouTube. I had a little less than, or just about, 1,ooo subscribers at the time, and he had over 40,000. Our channels weren't even close in size, but he believed in me, and the quality of my videos and recipes. He gave me my first big break, and it meant a lot to me, probably even more than he thinks.

    Anyways, when he gave me this opportunity I knew I had to make something remarkable. And I have to admit, this chocolate chip cheesecake does not disappoint.

    This cheesecake is...

    Creamy

    Perfectly sweetened

    Slightly tangy

    Packed with protein

    Absolutely yummy 

    The crust to this cheesecake is a bit unique too. It's part chocolate graham cracker, and part Cookies and Cream Quest Bar. Which by the way, is a crazy delicious combination. If you can't find Quest bars (or don't want to use them because they can be expensive), you can just use more graham crackers, and some coconut oil instead. Those substitution instructions will be in the "notes" below.
