Ingredients

• 500g (about 2 cups) cream cheese, softened

• 150g (2/3 cup) plain yogurt (Greek or regular)

• 100g (1/2 cup) cane sugar

• 3 large eggs

• 100g dark chocolate, melted

• a scoop (about 35g) chocolate pea protein powder

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
   Line a 6–8 inch round baking pan with parchment paper, letting the edges stick up above the rim.

2. Mix the batter:
   In a bowl, whisk the cream cheese and cane sugar until smooth.
   Add the yogurt and eggs one at a time, mixing well.
   Stir in the melted chocolate.
   Finally, add the chocolate pea protein and whisk until the batter is smooth and thick.

3. Bake:
   Pour the batter into the lined pan.
   Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is puffed and deeply browned (almost burnt-looking). The center will still jiggle slightly.

4. Cool and chill:
   Let it cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set fully.

5. Serve:
   Slice and enjoy straight from the fridge. Optional: dust with cocoa powder or serve with whipped cream.
