What is a protein cheesecake?

It’s pretty much what it says on the tin — this cheesecake is packed with 25g of protein, 10g carbs and less than 180 calories. It’s a no brainer for a those on a cut.

How to store leftover cheesecake?

Just like you would a standard cheesecake — the best option is to keep it securely wrapped with cling film or in an air-tight container and store it in the fridge to maintain freshness.

Can you freeze cheesecake?

The short answer is yes, it can be frozen. But there’s a few ways you can go about it:

  • Either slice the cheesecake into portions or leave it whole.
  • Add the slices or whole cake onto a cardboard round.
  • Wrap tightly with cling film and again with tin foil to keep well secure.
  • For optimal flavour, freeze for up to one month. However, two is the max.

Variations and add-ins

One of the best things about cheesecake is that it’s very versatile in terms of additions. Whether you wanted a different flavour it’s very easily done. Here are some additions and variations you can have:

  • Fruits
  • Clear Whey (Vimto recommended)
  • Vegan Protein
  • Chocolate
  • Change up the base (ginger snaps, digestives)
  • Chocolate Protein Spread

Nearly any flavour of Impact Whey would work with a protein cheesecake. A personal favourite of mine is the Natural Strawberry flavour, but there’s a wide variety to choose from, including:

  • Banana
  • Chocolate
  • Natural Vanilla
  • White Chocolate
  • Salted Caramel

Equipment needed

  • 9–10-inch springform pan (a cake tin works fine too)
  • Food processor

FAQs

What is the best yoghurt for cheesecake?

It all depends on what you type of cheesecake you want to make. If you’re looking to make a cheesecake that’s lower in fat and calories, then Greek yoghurt is the best option. But normal yoghurt is also an option too.

How to add more protein?

If 25g of protein still seems a little low for your goals, there’s some ways to top up on your protein intake, use the All-Natural Peanut Butter as a topping to add another 4.2g of protein. Or you could always use the Chocolate Protein Spread to get an extra 3.2g.
