Instructions To Make Protein Cheesecake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 7 inch springform pan with a parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Make your crust by mixing all of your ingredients together until well incorporated and evenly spread over the bottom and up the sides of your prepared springform pan.
  3. Bake your crust for 8 to 10 minutes.
  4. Fill a deep baking dish with water and carefully place it on the bottom rack of your oven.
  5. Reduce your temperature to 325 degrees F. Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat your cream cheese, monk fruit, vanilla protein powder, heavy cream, greek yogurt, and vanilla until smooth. Scrape down the sides of your bowl. Add in your eggs one at a time, mixing until the egg is just combined.
  6.  Bake at 325 degrees F for 75 minutes. Turn off the oven and slightly crack open the oven door. Let the cheesecake slowly reduce in temperature for one hour then remove it from the oven.
  7. Allow your cheesecake to cool to room temperature and then place in your fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably over night.
  8. Once done chilling, slice and enjoy!
