Ingredients

– 2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
– 1 cup Greek yogurt
– 3/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
– 1/2 cup granulated sweetener (like erythritol or stevia)
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– A pinch of salt
– Optional toppings: fresh berries, crushed nuts, or sugar-free chocolate chips

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to make your High Protein Cheesecake:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan to prevent sticking.
2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon juice, baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth.
3. Pour Mixture: Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared springform pan, spreading it evenly.
4. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes or until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly.
5. Cool Down: Once done, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for about 10-15 minutes. Then, remove it from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for 30 minutes.
6. Chill: Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2-4 hours (or overnight for best results) before serving.
7. Add Toppings: Before serving, top it with berries, nuts, or chocolate chips, if desired.

By following these steps, you’ll be well on your way to enjoying a protein-packed cheesecake that satisfies your cravings!
