Ingredients
- 1 pack digestive biscuits
3 tbsp. coconut oil (melted) - 600g cottage cheese
- 150g low-fat cream cheese
1 scoop Impact Whey Protein (Vanilla) - Vanilla Flavdrops
- 150ml water
1 scoop Clear Whey Isolate (Vimto) - 1 gelatine sachet
- 50ml hot water
- Fresh berries to garnish
Method
- First, add the biscuits and coconut oil to a food processor and blitz until you have a fine crumb mixture. Pour out into a tin and pat down into a smooth layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon. Leave to chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
- Meanwhile, add the cottage cheese, cream cheese, vanilla protein, and 5-6 drops of vanilla Flavdrops to a large bowl and mix well. Spoon out this cheesecake filling on top of the biscuit base, smooth into an even layer, and chill for 2 hours.
To make the final Vimto jelly layer, add 150ml water and a scoop of Vimto Clear Whey Isolate to a shaker and shake until fully combined. Leave for a few minutes to allow the bubbles to go down. Meanwhile, mix together the gelatine and hot water, then carefully add this gelatine liquid to the shaker with the Vimto Clear Whey and shake well. - Carefully pour out the Vimto jelly liquid on top of the cheesecake and allow to set in the fridge for 2 hours.
- Garnish with fresh berries, slice up, and dig in!
