Greek Yogurt Protein Cheesecake
Enjoy a lighter twist on traditional cheesecake with this Greek Yogurt Protein Cheesecake. The creamy, tangy filling is boosted with whey protein and enriched with a hint of egg yolk, while a delicate almond flour crust and a touch of butter and olive oil deliver a satisfying texture and luxurious mouthfeel. Perfectly balanced for a guilt-free dessert that still feels indulgent.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1/2 scoop whey protein powder
1 large egg yolk
1/4 cup low-fat cream cheese
2 tablespoons almond flour
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small ramekin or springform pan.
In a small bowl, combine the almond flour and melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to form a thin, even crust.
In another bowl, whisk the nonfat Greek yogurt, low-fat cream cheese, and egg yolk until smooth and well blended.
Stir in the 1/2 scoop of whey protein powder until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust with a sugar substitute or vanilla extract if desired.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the center is set and the edges begin to show a slight golden hue.
Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil for added richness, if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the cheesecake to firm up. Enjoy your balanced and protein-packed dessert!
