About This Recipe

An easy to make and Healthy Cheesecake with Simple Ingredients is here! This low carb dessert is delicious and made without protein powder.

Ingredients

  • 45 g Graham Cracker (Crumbs)
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter (Melted)
  • 2 Large Whole Eggs
  • 100 g Greek Yogurt (I used Fat Free)
  • 1 Cup Cottage Cheese (I used Low Fat)
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tablespoons Hemp Seeds (or Hemp Seed Hearts (Preferred))
  • 2 Tablespoons Sweetener (Your Choice)

Instructions

  1. Melt your Butter
  2. Mix your Graham Cracker crumbs and Butter together in a bowl
  3. Coat your Cheesecake pan or dish with some non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper
  4. Press your mixed up Crust ingredients into the bottom of your pan or dish until compacted and level
  5. Bake your Crust on 375F/190C for 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown
  6. Add all of your Cheesecake ingredients into either a blender or food processor
  7. Blend or process them until smooth (don't over-mix!)
  8. Pour your mix on top of your Crust or into your pan or dish (I used a 6'' round pan) if you aren't using a crust
  9. Optionally cut into or top your Cheesecake with whatever you want like some cocoa powder and/or mini chocolate chips
  10. Bake it on 325F/162C for around 40-45 minutes or until it passes the "jiggle" test
  11. Let your Cheesecake cool, wrap it up, and put it into the fridge for at least a few hours but preferably overnight (maximum cheesecake texture)
