\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

I\u2019m wearing pink today. Yesterday I wore red.<\/p>\n

\u2018Tis the season.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s something about Valentine\u2019s that I really love. I think it has something to do with one of my favourite family traditions. At Valentine\u2019s Day dinner, we give each other chocolate and special notes that tell how much we care about one another. It\u2019s always so meaningful.<\/p>\n

Okay, I admit it\u2026I\u2019m also kind of obsessed about the ridiculous amount of chocolate involved.<\/p>\n

You guys know that a favourite dessert in this house is the No-Bake Cheescakes we make. We\u2019ve made a lot of different variations \u2013 including a creamy, vanilla cheesecake<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

\"No<\/p>\n

\u2026and a blueberry cheesecake<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"Blueberry<\/p>\n

I\u2019m crazy about both of those\u2026but I have to say I\u2019ve found a new favourite!<\/p>\n

Delicious, creamy, low calorie, healthy, protein packed, and once again\u2026without any cream cheese! Everything is better in chocolate! This would be a perfect dessert for your Valentine\u2019s dinner! Serves 12.<\/p>\n

      Note:<\/em> Nutritional info will vary depending on what kind cottage cheese you use or what sort of chocolate you pick\u2026but it should be close.<\/p>\n

      We actually used chopped up dark truffles instead of chocolate chips\u2026this made it extra decadent!<\/p>\n

      Just a heads up<\/strong><\/em>…sorry I didn’t get my next workout last week. I’ll try to have one up soon! Life has been extra crazy now…with studying and a new online venture I’m on (I’ll tell you about it soon!).<\/p>\n
