Materials

Optional Crust

  • 45 g Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter Melted

Cheesecake

  • 2 Large Whole Eggs
  • 100 g Greek Yogurt I used Fat Free
  • 1 Cup Cottage Cheese I used Low Fat
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tablespoons Hemp Seeds or Hemp Seed Hearts (Preferred)
  • 2 Tablespoons Sweetener Your Choice

Instructions

Optional Crust

  • Melt your Butter
  • Mix your Graham Cracker crumbs and Butter together in a bowl
  • Coat your Cheesecake pan or dish with some non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper
  • Press your mixed up Crust ingredients into the bottom of your pan or dish until compacted and level
  • Bake your Crust on 375F/190C for 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown

Protein Cheesecake

  • Add all of your Cheesecake ingredients into either a blender or food processor
  • Blend or process them until smooth (don't over-mix!)
  • Pour your mix on top of your Crust or into your pan or dish (I used a 6'' round pan) if you aren't using a crust
  • Optionally cut into or top your Cheesecake with whatever you want like some cocoa powder and/or mini chocolate chips
  • Bake it on 325F/162C for around 40-45 minutes or until it passes the "jiggle" test
  • Let your Cheesecake cool, wrap it up, and put it into the fridge for at least a few hours but preferably overnight (maximum cheesecake texture)
