    Healthy chocolate and peanut butter ice cream cake recipe. Can you believe you can actually make HEALTHY cake out of ice cream!? The Diet Chef #WeightWatchers #HealthyCake

    It's amazing what you can do with a half pint of ice cream. Especially, when that half pint is only 150 calories.

    3 Things I love about this "mug cake"

    1. It only takes 4 ingredients to actually make the cake

    2. No clean up. You can eat this bad boy right out of the pint

    3. You can eat this whole cake (yes an entire pint of cake) for only 410 calories.

    Bonus Thing: 50g of protein in the cake!
