Ingredients

  • 8 plain digestive biscuits – crushed to crumbs
  • 30g low-fat butter – melted
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • 180g low-fat cream cheese – room temperature
  • 200g Greek yoghurt
  • 4 egg whites
  • 2 tbsp. cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop Chocolate Impact Whey Protein
  • Chopped strawberries for topping
  • 4 squares dark chocolate – melted
  • 2 squares dark chocolate to grate on top

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 175°C and line an 8x8-inch cake tin with greaseproof paper.

2. Blend, or crush the biscuits until you have fine crumbs and pour into a large mixing bowl.

3. Mix the crumbs with the melted butter and honey before transferring into the cake tin.

4. Press the crumb mix firmly into the tin to form a smooth and level base and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

5. While the base is baking, put the cream cheese into a mixing bowl and whisk for about a minute.

6. Then, add the egg whites and Greek yoghurt to the bowl and whisk together for about 2-3 minutes.

7. Next, add the cocoa powder and Impact Whey Protein to the mixture and whisk until smooth.

8. Pour the cheesecake mix over the biscuit base and spread evenly over the surface.

9. Bake the cheesecake for 20 minutes at 175°C, then lower the temperature of the oven to 150°C and bake for another 25 minutes.

10. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and leave it to cool completely, before placing in the fridge for 3 hours to set.

11. Garnish your cheesecake with strawberries, melted dark chocolate and grated dark chocolate, then dig in.
