Creamy Bacon Protein Cheesecake
A velvety protein cheesecake made with whipped cottage cheese and maple, topped with a generous layer of salty, crisp bacon.
INGREDIENTS
180g Nonfat Cottage Cheese
60g Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 large Egg White
10g Vanilla Whey Protein Isolate
4 slices Center-cut Bacon
20g Pure Maple Syrup
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a small 4-inch springform pan or ramekin with parchment paper.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, egg white, whey protein, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and no cottage cheese curds remain.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared pan and tap it on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
While the cheesecake is baking, cook the center-cut bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it is very crisp.
Drain the bacon on paper towels and chop it into small, fine pieces.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.
Once chilled, top the cheesecake with the chopped crisp bacon before serving.
