We have all became amateur chefs cooking and baking up a storm during the pandemic. A side effect of eating our favourite home-cooked meal is the inevitable weight gain. The rich tasty recipes, the way Granny used to make it, has been going straight to the mid-section. To solve this problem, friends at Pyure bring us some healthier options to some of our childhood favourites. The guilt-free Chocolate Cheesecake recipe is the first of a series of recipes with the aim to give you healthier meals while satisfying your cravings.
Guilt-free chocolate cheesecake recipe
As with any other cheesecake recipe, the crust is prepared first, then the filling. You should, however, have all your ingredients available before starting. The first step would be to pre-heat the oven at 180 degrees Celsius or 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
