Taz80: I just use this recipe but use ricotta instead of cream cheese. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/s...eesecake-morph Cream cheese is better texture wise but costs about twice as much so I go with Ricotta.

Thanks for the info re the Ricotta Emma. I would have been searching!

Also, those vanilla coke zero's are still on special at COles for 4 for $9.

any aussies looking to make the 2:1 protein:carb cheesecake on the nutrition main page... I've perfected the recipe for a larger Vanilla cheesecake (12inchx2.5inch round baking dish) using australian ingredients (and measurements ):


750 grams Low Fat creamed cottage cheese <- whatever's cheapest, I use the woolies home brand
500 grams Fat Free Natural Yogurt <- again, cheapest.. I use Paul's Natural 99.8% Fat Free
4 whole eggs
1.25 cups granulated sweetner <- I use Hermesetas
3 scoops (about 75 grams) Vanilla Protein powder
1 tspn vanilla extract

Pre-heat oven to 150C (not fan forced <!!important!!>)
Grease baking dish with non-stick spray and line bottom with baking paper (cut out circular piece for a round dish)

Place half cottage cheese into blender and blend until very smooth, repeat (usually takes about 5 minutes per batch)
Pour blended cottage cheese and yoghurt into large mixing bowl, mix together with a wisk
add eggs 1 at a time, wisking as you go
add the reset of the ingredients and mix until combined
pour mixture into baking dish (it will be quite watery, don't worry)
Bake at 150C for 1 hour, then turn heat down to 110C for 1.5 hours (or until cake doesn't wobble when you shake the pan)
Allow to cool on the bench in pan for 30 minutes
remove from pan and refrigerate for at least 5 hours

MACRO's (for the whole cake):

1711kCal
209g Protein
103g Carbs
49g Fat

The reason I used creamed cottage cheese is because the philly cream cheese is a) so freaking expensive to buy in large amounts and b) lower fat. Once the cottage cheese has been blended enough the consistency is quite similar to cream cheese anyway (a bit runnier) and the taste of the cheesecake is almost identical using either philly Extra light or Woolies Home Brand Creamed Cottage Cheese.

I think the secret is in the long ass cooking time. Cooking at a low temp gives the eggs time to slowly harden the cake which in the end is still quite soft and moist but holds it shape very well.

Hopefully this gives some of you aussie bro's a template to create you own bodybuilding friendly cheesecakes with our limited ingredients. Peace.

liammccarthy recipe is awesome, but make sure your eggs are room temp when you go to whisk them, helps with the volume etc. :-)

Would love to see some photos of this creation!

Would love to see some photos of this creation!

i've got one baking as I type this; it's much the same as my others except I used a combo of cottage cheese and cream cheese per liammcarthy's idea.... saves a heck of money and (from the taste of the batter) wasn't really any change in flavour. Though the batter was more runny than usual

p.s I've been using combo's of nestle soleil & coltees diet choc syrup instead of GY... if you're going with a chocolate flavour it's GREAT and helps a FUK ton with keeping cals lower

will post pics tonight when I dig in

That's not sugar overload with the splenda! Sounds delish!!! I have been having sugar overload with all these poptarts lately. I usually live off splenda and fruit as practically my sole sugar source!

[dvbuilder]

I've already lost bf% by dropping my extra meals + extra carbs from my diet..

Results:

For Choc Fudge Filled & Frosted:

Pacific Valley Tasty Pastries (From Woolworths):
* Crumblier/firmer texture than the others
* Minimal filling
* Slightly stale flavour - almost like when you leave a piece of cake out without covering it properly

Toast'em Pop-Ups (From David Jones or USA Foods):
* Softer texture than Tasty Pastries
* Minimal filling
* Fresher, brighter flavour, better texture, nice and fudgy

Pop-Tarts (From Hidden Candy shop in Chinatown):
* Soft texture (similar to Toast'ems)
* MUCH more filling (double the amount of the others)
* Artificial Junk Food Flavour.

To explain the 3rd point for pop tarts, it is hard to put in words. I am not pretending that when you are eating the Toast'ems it feels as though you are eating pure equadorian 80% cacao with organically grown palm sugar and madagascan vanilla (i.e. gourmet food), but the pop-tarts just had that flavour where you KNOW you are eating a food with 100000000 ingredients and you can almost feel that you can taste the refined flour, hydrogenated oils, HFCS, artificial flavours etc.

To summarise, out of the 3 for choc fudge, the Toast'ems win.

When I get the chance, I hope to do the others (apple/cinnamon/brown sugar for the toastems and tasty pastries, and all of the pop tart flavours)
