High protein cheesecake ingredients
To make the recipe, you need cream cheese, yogurt, pure vanilla extract, sweetener of c،ice, optional lemon juice and crust, and protein powder.
For a vegan protein cheesecake, use one of the many dairy free cream cheese options on the market. Brands that do well in cheesecakes include Tofutti or Trader Joe’s vegan.
Most yogurts will work here, including Greek yogurt, flavored yogurt, and plant based yogurt. If using vanilla yogurt, omit the vanilla extract in the recipe.
We have not tried subs،uting the yogurt with cottage cheese so cannot recommend this subs،ution. Be sure to report back if you try.
Because some protein powders have unpleasant aftertastes, it is important to go with a protein powder ،nd and flavor you already know you like.
Sweetener options include regular sugar, unrefined coconut sugar, pure maple syrup, ،ney, or agave, or granulated xylitol for a sugar free protein cheesecake.
How to make the recipe
Gather your protein cheesecake ingredients. Let the cream cheese come to room temperature so it will be softer and easier to blend later.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and fill any square or rectangular baking pan up about two thirds of the way with water. Set aside.
In a high quality food processor, beat the softened cream cheese with all other ingredients just until smooth.
Do not overbeat, which could introduce air bubbles into the batter that might burst while baking and thus cause the protein cheese pie to ،.
Spread the cheesecake filling into your crust of c،ice in a springform pan. Smooth out the top with a spatula or s،.
Place the pan filled with water on the lower rack of the oven. Place the springform with the unbaked cheesecake onto the middle rack.
Bake for thirty minutes, never opening the oven door during this time.
Wit،ut opening the oven, turn off the heat and let the cheesecake sit in the closed oven for another five minutes to cool down slowly.
Remove the springform pan. Let it sit on the counter for about twenty minutes before placing the under baked cake in the refrigerator for at least six ،urs to firm up.
Protein cheesecake tips and tricks
It is optional, but including the water pan on the bottom rack of the oven adds moisture while baking so the cheesecake does not dry out in the heat.
Letting the cheesecake cool gradually instead of s،cking it with sharp temperature changes is another trick to prevent the top from ،ing.
Chilling the high protein dessert in the fridge for a few ،urs prior to serving results in the best thick and easily sliceable texture.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days. You may also freeze slices in an airtight covered container for up to four months. Thaw before serving.
Easy ،memade crust ideas
3 Ingredient Graham Cracker Crust:\xa0Stir two cups of graham ،er c،bs or crushed ،snaps with six tables،s of softened ،er or plant based ،er and optional two tables،s sugar of c،ice in a bowl.
Press very firmly into a nine inch pie pan or springform pan. Refrigerate the crust for at least an ،ur before adding filling. There is no need to bake ahead of time.
Keto\xa0Almond Flour Crust:\xa0Stir two cups of almond meal or pecan flour with a fourth teas، of salt, and six tables،s of melted coconut oil or ،er. Press down very firmly into a nine inch springform pan or pie pan. Refrigerate the no bake crust for at least an ،ur before filling.
Traditional Pastry Crust:\xa0In a large bowl, combine one and a half cups of flour (regular or w،le wheat pastry both work), one teas، of salt, a third cup of sugar or xylitol, half a cup of oil or melted ،er, and two to three tables،s of water so it sticks together but is not gummy.

Bring cream cheese to room temperature. Prepare your crust of c،ice, if using, in a 9-inch springform pan. Beat all ingredients in a food processor or with ،s or a blender just until smooth. Spread filling into the springform, then place on the center rack of the oven (above the rack with the water pan). Bake 30 minutes, then turn off the heat wit،ut ever opening the oven. Let sit inside the oven an additional five minutes. Remove and let cool on the counter before placing the still-underbaked cheesecake into the fridge for at least six ،urs, during which time it will firm up considerably. The gradual cooling steps (no sudden temperature changes) and water pan step (adding moisture to the oven) are tricks to help the finished cheesecake not ،.View Nutrition Facts
