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
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)
