Protein Cheesecake: 2:1 Ratio P/C

[RPAYNE509]

Any recipes with canned Pumpkin pie mix? Curious about ingredient amounts. I'd probably use PES Select Snickerdoodle protein powder.

In also, Have a can of pumpkin and PES on my counter right now. Debating what to do with it.

I basically fallowed the original recipe, i subbed egg whites for the eggs, added a little bit of sugar free fat free jello mix, and used almond milk instead of 1%

I made a Low calorie crust from scratch, i can give the recipe for the crust if anyone is interested. but the macros for the whole cake including the crust is

1058 calories. 6 grams fat, 72 carbs, and 162 grams of protein.
i used 8 inch pan and cut into 4 slices so its; 265/2/18/42 per slice. (however in the pics the slice is 1/8th of the cheesecake.)


i used ON gold standard cookies and cream whey protein. i usually top with strawberry Walden Farms, but its good plain too.


Once again let me know if you want instructions on the low calorie crust

Can you post the recipe for the low calorie crust? I've made one using shortbread cookies and a minimal amount of butter but am curious to hear yours.

I think I might just substitute the yogurt for pumpkin and follow the rest of the recipe. Unsure how that will bake... haha.

Something is going in the damn oven, tonight, though! haha

[Blacklac]

Went with the Snickerdoodle Pumpkin. Just sub the yogurt for Pumpkin. Just put it in the oven.

Thank you so much for this recipe. I made mine yesterday and baked it in two 5 inch pie plates. I topped it with a little raspberry purée I whipped up - a few mashed raspberries, a couple drops of lemon juice, a packet of splenda and some water brought to a boil.

I'm in Canada, so I had to make some adjustments: We don't have fat free cream cheese (only low fat) and I only had 2% milk. I also used Liberté 0% greek yogurt and Ultimate Nutrition, Iso93, Vanilla - so for the total recipe it came to:

1294 Cals, 79.2 Fat, 37.4 Carb, 104.2 Protein.

I split it into 4 servings and for one serving it was: 324 Cals, 19.8 Fat, 9.3 Carb, 26.1 Protein.





Thanks, again OP!

This was my first attempt. I used 1/3rd fat cream cheese using the water bath method. Its a cinnamon swirl cheesecake. YUMMY!

TNAK YOU OP!!!!

Cellucor Cookies and Cream version with no toppings this time:


Man this recipe is awesome though! I've made it quite a few different times and always good. Reps OP

[pitbull1227]

Is everyone still using the original recipe from post #1?

[weber32]

Is everyone still using the original recipe from post #1?

Essentially yes but I usually use less splenda and add a tiny bit of cheesecake flavored SF/FF Jello mix to the recipe and scale it down because OP's version makes more than one springform pan it seems

Pumpkin cheesecake with pumpkin spice protein fosting. This one was my first attempt with a chocolate graham cracker crust. NAILED IT!

How should I adjust the cooking times if i'm using the 6' recipe in an 8' pan?

[mnovotny85]

How should I adjust the cooking times if i'm using the 6' recipe in an 8' pan?

Yes, I use a 9' pan and cook it at 325 for ~45-50 min and it comes out perfect

[Verint]

Yes, I use a 9' pan and cook it at 325 for ~45-50 min and it comes out perfect

isn't that high temperature for too long? OP's recipe calls for 325 for 30 mins and then 200 for 50 mins, wouldn't 45 mins burn it on the outside and undercook it on the inside?

[ThunderBee]

Hey how long do you guys let it cool before putting it in the fridge? And what's the shortest time you've had it in the fridge for before eating?

Do you let it go to room temp first? That's usually like 3 hours

Also cheesecakes say atleaat 8hrs in the fridge but I sometimes only do 3 cause hungry

[cumminslifter]

used the OG recipe, but didnt have a pan. So i cooked them in a muffin tin and made cheesecake "muffins"
turned out awesome. I used PES snickerdoodle protein instead of vanilla

Not for my oven. It comes out perfect right around 47 min. I made a chocolate-mocha flavor one last night, will post pics tomorrow.

Sweet sonofabitch!

I'm still waiting to eat lunch, and I choose THIS thread to read. This is going into my "must make this, tonight" list. Now to find lactose-free variants of all the ingredients :S

lol good luck trying to find lactose-free cream cheese with good macros

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath. Loblaws has started carrying 2% lactose-free yogurt and cottage cheese, and I think I saw sour cream, too. I'll check it out, today. I have lactose pills, too... just don't want to have to eat more of those than I already do. All that being said, I need to make this. Sounds so effing good! I'm going to make a chocolate version (since that's the only flavor of protein I have handy) and add some extra cocoa powder for richness and some healthy fats

[cerigitts]

Oh I am so going to make this soon !!! Just need to decide wether I use my Rocky Road or Peanut Butter Cookie Whey

Mocha Chocolate protein cheesecake topped w/ melted Cookie Butter, crushed birthday cake oreo, cool whip and chocolate syrup

[Hokage984]

Made this last night. Changed a few small things. Had a little to much liquid so I'll try again. Overall the taste is great. I wish it didn't taste so artificial though.

[Lil Freek]

Just made this



Each loaf is 250cal, 8.5g fat, 10.5g carbs, 29g protein.

Can't get fat-free cream cheese, so I worked with what I could get. But it's still pretty decent. I have less carbs than expected because I used stevia vs. splenda.

Haven't tasted it yet.. wife says I need to wait til she gets home

how many calories are in stevia? I can't find this answer anywhere.

[nilekyle]

stevia in the raw has the same caloric value as splenda

[horseriderrrr]

OMG I have to try this!!

[ThunderBee]

stevia in the raw has the same caloric value as splenda

So Stevia in the Raw is 96 calories per cup?

[nilekyle]

So Stevia in the Raw is 96 calories per cup?

roughly, yes, I count 2 calories per gram based off this:

Fewer than 5 calories per serving is considered ‘zero’ calorie by the FDA, and Stevia In The Raw contains fewer than 2 calories per packet or per 1 teaspoon and totals only 84 calories per cup. Stevia In The Raw is a wonderful item to help reduce calories, when combined with a proper diet and regular physical activity, can result in weight loss.
