Materials

Optional Crust

  • 3 Sheets Graham Cracker Crushed
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter Melted

Cheesecake

  • 8 Ounces Cream Cheese Full, Reduced, or Fat Free all work great
  • 1 Cup Ricotta Cheese Part Skim
  • 2 Large Whole Eggs
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ Cup Sweetener Your Choice
  • 2 Scoops Protein Powder Vanilla
  • 1 Tablespoon Corn Starch

Instructions

Optional Crust

  • Crush up your Graham Crackers (put them in a sealed bag or bowl and use a rolling pin or drink bottle to roll or crush them)
  • Melt your Butter
  • Mix both of those ingredients together in a small bowl until all your crumbs are coated
  • Coat your cheesecake pan with cooking spray and dump that mix into it
  • Press it evenly into the bottom
  • Bake it on 350F/176C for 7-10 minutes or until it browns up a bit

Cheesecake

  • Mix all your ingredients aside from your Corn Starch together in a large mixing bowl right until smooth
  • Lightly mix in your Corn Starch and any other mix-ins you want
  • Pour your mix on top of your optional crust and top it
  • Bake it on 350F/176C for 10 minutes, lower the temperature to 200F/93C and continue baking it for an additional 40-50 minutes
  • Remove it from the oven when only the middle has a slight "jiggle" left to it
  • Let it cool, wrap it up, and put it into the fridge overnight for the most optimal cheesecake texture
