Ingredients:

For the crust

2 Chocolate Peanut Butter Pop Tarts
1 tablespoon (14g) melted unsalted butter

For the cheesecake (ALL at room temperature)

16oz (453 G) Fat Free Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1/2 cup (12g) Splenda
14oz (396g)Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup (120 mL) non fat milk
1 scoops (32g) Optimum Nutrition Vanilla Casein powder (or whey)
2 teaspoon (10 mL) vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

1 Quest Cravings peanut butter cup, chopped
2 tablespoons (12g) PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter + 1 tablespoon (15 mL), stir together until smooth

Instructions:

For the crust

Preheat oven to 325 F (162 C). Spray a 6 inch spring form pan with some non stick cooking spray.
With a food processor (or using a zip lock bag and manual pounding!), grind the Pop-Tarts to crumbs. Add melted butter and incorporate it with the crumbs. Press it evenly into the spring form pan. Bake for 10 minutes, as you prepare the cheesecake filling. Remove and let it cool but keep the oven on after removing the crust.

For the cheesecake

Using a stand or hand mixer, mix cream cheese on medium until creamy. Add Splenda and continue mixing until incorporated. Scrape sides of bowl.
Add the rest of the ingredients (except for eggs) – mix on medium for 3 minutes.
Add eggs, one a time until it’s mixed (don’t over mix it or you’ll get large cracks). Once your crust has cooled, pour batter into pan.
Bake at 325 F (162 C) for 30 minutes. Turn oven to 200 F (93 C) for 50min – 1 hour. Remove and let cool on the counter. Wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Cut into 8 equal slices when ready to serve. If your macros allow, add the chopped Quest Peanut Butter Cup and PB2 on your slice of cheesecake!
