Protein Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with Almond Crust
Baked vanilla bean cheesecake with a protein-packed cottage cheese base over a nutty almond crust, finished with a velvety texture.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup 1% Cottage Cheese
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2/3 scoop Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
1 large Egg White
3 tbsp Almond Flour
2 tsp Coconut Oil
1 tsp Maple Syrup
1 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 325°F and lightly grease a 4-inch springform pan or large ramekin.
Combine the almond flour, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup in a small bowl until it reaches a sandy consistency.
Press the almond mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until it is lightly fragrant and golden, then remove from the oven to cool slightly.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, egg white, and vanilla bean paste.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps from the cottage cheese remain.
Pour the vanilla filling over the pre-baked crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are firm but the center still has a slight wobble.
Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set completely.
