This Black Forest protein dessert is pure indulgence with a healthy twist: layers of chocolate sponge, light cottage cheese cream and sweet cherries, served in elegant glasses. It tastes like a classic Black Forest gateau, yet packs an impressive amount of protein in every serving. For another cherry and chocolate treat, try our Cherry Banana Chocolate Cake (Light).
