Easy High Protein/ Low Carb Cheesecake with a Crust

This Easy Protein Cheesecake with a Crust recipe is delicious, protein packed, and fit for almost any diet.

Here’s the deal…this easy protein cheesecake is going to be a bit higher in fat. Why? Because we aren’t using fat free ingredients.

Fat free cream cheese tends to have double the carbs compared to reduced or full fat which only has 2 grams of carbs per serving.

Basically, if you want this to be low in fat but a bit higher in carbs, you can use fat free instead.

Ingredients:


Crust-

2 Tablespoons Butter - or Coconut Oil

1/2 Cup Almond Flour

Cheesecake

16 Ounces Cream Cheese - Reduced, Full, or Fat Free

2 Containers Greek Yogurt - Fat Free

2 Scoops Protein Powder

1 Large Whole Egg

2 Large Egg Whites

2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract

1/4 Cup Sweetener - Your choice

1-2 Tablespoons Chocolate Chips - Semi-Sweet



Protein Cheesecake Crust

First, we have to prep the crust so that it doesn’t fall apart when we cut our low carb protein cheesecake. To do this, take out a small bowl.

Add into it 2 tablespoons of melted butter or coconut oil and 1/2 up or 56 grams of almond flour. If you want your crust to run up the sides, double this portion of the recipe.

Mix those two ingredients together and press them firmly into a 6x2 pan lined with parchment paper.

Bake your low carb cheesecake crust on 350F/176C for 8-12 minutes or until it’s lightly browned and take it out.

Low Carb Protein Cheesecake

Once your low carb crust is done, take a bowl big enough for all of your cheesecake ingredients.

Add into it 16 ounces full or reduced fat cream cheese (fat free if you don’t mind the extra carbs), 2 containers of a low sugar Greek yogurt, 2 scoops of your choice flavor protein powder, 1 large whole egg, 2 large egg whites, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of your choice sweetener.

Mix those ingredients together then pour your mix into your low carb protein cheesecake pan.

Continue by melting 2 tablespoons of semi-sweet chocolate chips and pouring the melted chocolate on top of your cheesecake. Cut that chocolate in using a knife to give it a delicious, marbled look.

The easiest way to melt your chocolate chips is to microwave them for :15 seconds, stir, and repeat until they’re melted.

Last, bake your easy protein cheesecake on 325F/162C for 30-35 minutes. Drop your temperature to 200F/93C after that and bake for an additional 50 minutes to 1 hour.

Let your cheesecake cool for a bit, wrap it up, and put into the fridge for a couple hours!
