INGREDIENTS
3 cups Nonfat Greek Yogurt (720g)
5 scoops Vanilla Whey Protein Isolate (150g)
2 cups Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (450g)
4 Egg Whites (120g)
4 oz Fat-Free Cream Cheese (113g)
1/3 cup Almond Flour (32g)
1 tbsp Honey (21g) for crust
1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (240g)
1/4 cup Chopped Pecans (30g)
1 tbsp Almond Butter (16g)
1 tbsp Honey (21g) for topping
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a springform pan.
In a small bowl, mix the almond flour and 1 tablespoon honey until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to form an even crust.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, vanilla whey protein isolate, low-fat cottage cheese, egg whites, and fat-free cream cheese. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. A hand mixer or food processor works best to achieve a uniform consistency.
Pour the creamy filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
While the cheesecake cools, prepare the topping by whipping the heavy cream until it reaches soft peaks. Gently fold in the chopped pecans and almond butter.
Once the cheesecake has cooled to room temperature, spread or drizzle the whipped cream topping evenly over the cheesecake. Finally, add an extra drizzle of honey for a touch of sweetness.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to firm up before serving. Slice and enjoy a protein-rich dessert that meets your nutritional goals.
