Since participating in the #250kchallenge, I’ve been searching for protein/cleaner sweets to make. I purchased small kitchen appliances, ingredients and saved many images on Pinterest!
For our anniversary, I picked out a delicious looking protein cheesecake to make. The ingredients looked simple enough and all I needed was 2 tubs of cream cheese. SOLD!
I read and followed the directions so I’m not quite sure what happened! I used egg whites, lower fat cream cheese, vanilla extract and plant protein powder.
*Note: we ate a piece before I captured an image…obviously.
Hubby said it looked like the surface of Mars and that he only wanted a bite (I gave him half of my my slice). I added sugar free caramel on his half and sugar free chocolate on mine.
The Verdict of Protein Cheesecake:
- The texture isn’t as “airy” as a normal cheesecake.
- The cream cheese taste was very dominant.
- It tastes better the next day.
- It tastes even better with a topping…obviously.
- Will try again with fat free cream cheese!
