After many many batches of protein fluff, it was time to move on to mastering cheesecake. Low cal, high protein and customizable, the cheesecake is quite a versatile piece of dessert as I've found.

Last night I created this frumpy, sad looking pumpkin cheesecake.
Entire cake came out to 847 calories, 89g protein, 84g carbs, 11g fat.

Here's tonight's version after making some adjustments. Much more respectable in my opinion.

Macro's for the entire cake are 850 calories, 98g protein, 80g carbs and 14g fat.

Here's to cheesecake and making it a part of your life!

    This looks delicious, and very beautiful! I'm definitely going to try it... but before wasting the ingredients just to find I don't like it, about how close to the "real thing" is it?

    Thanks a lot!

    Love and Alohas,

    Looks great! Would that turn out okay without the protein powder, do you think?

    My wife likes it, which is saying something. I know...subjective. It's not Cheesecake Factory. For the $6 it might cost, It's a risk I'd suggest taking.

    Yes it will work without it. If you're worried about the taste, it's not noticeable. Without it it will be slightly creamier / less firm but will still set.

    Totally going to try this as soon as I run out of chocolate protein powder (that's when I get to buy some vanilla LOL).

    Use chocolate protein powder, drop the vanilla extract, add some unsweetened cocoa powder and sub half the milk for hot brewed coffee.. Bam! You're well on your way to a chocolate version.

    What don't you understand?

    fage is greek yoghurt.

    alternative for graham crackers:
    Substitutions: Substitute with plain cookie such as vanilla wafers, shortbread, ginger snaps, Marie biscuits, digestive biscuits (British) by Mcvitie's. Graham crackers are made with graham flour
