Enjoying Food: Dark Chocolate Protein Cheesecake

1/17/2015

THESE ARE SO HOT RIGHT NOW. In fact, I've tried tons of protein cheesecake recipes in the past few months. Some were winners and some were losers to be honest, but I believe I've found my favorite recipe and ratios of ingredients that do not sacrifice macros or flavor. The awesome thing about this recipe is you can really play around with it. If you want to add more protein, add more whey; if you want more fiber, add more cocoa powder. Also, you can totally be a rebel and eat it for breakfast if you want--it's got about the same macros as a veggie egg white omelet, believe it or not! Pretty crazy but true!

DARK CHOCOLATE PROTEIN CHEESECAKE
154 kcal -- 24P / 11C / 1.5F (for 1/8 of cake)
Picture
Ingredients:
- 2 scoop whey (I used optimum nutrition isolate in chocolate)
- 454g plain nonfat greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 46g liquid egg whites
- 1 package (40g) sugar free fat free chocolate jello pudding mix
- 2 packages (448g) Fat free cream cheese
- 30g dark chocolate cocoa powder
- stevia to taste

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Put all ingredients in mixing bowl and mix until completely smooth (I used kitchen aid mixer for this)
3. Place mixture in glass pie dish/pan and then into oven.
3. Let it bake for about 45-min to an hour. Check on it frequently (maybe every 5-10 mins towards the end) and you can tell it is done when you stick a toothpick in the middle and it's not gooey/comes out pretty clean.
4. Take out of oven and let cool for an hour or so.
5. Let refrigerate over night.

Enjoy and have fun with it! I love having it with ice cream, whip cream, chocolate syrup, and strawberries… but it's also great completely by itself! <3

Forgot stevia, tried right before going in fridge , I think it will be okay without it , especially because I keep a good stock of wardens farm chocolate sugar free syrup on hand . Great site , angel food protein cake was awesome too !
