Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz low -fat cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups non -fat Greek yogurt, plain
  • 60 g vanilla whey protein powder
  • 2 large egg s
  • 0.5 cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 0.25 tsp sal t

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 7-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sweetener until smooth and aerated.
  3. Add the Greek yogurt, protein powder, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined to avoid incorporating excess air.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and tap against the counter to release air bubbles.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes or until the edges are firm but the center remains slightly jiggly.
  7. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool inside for 30 minutes to prevent cracking.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
