Strawberry Protein Cheesecake Recipe
This Strawberry Protein Cheesecake is creamy, protein-packed, and topped with a fresh strawberry glaze. It’s the perfect balance of flavor and goodness, and ideal for dessert or a midday treat.
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 2 cups crushed protein cookies
- 4 Tbsp melted butter
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 30 oz Greek yogurt
- 1 ½ cups cream cheese
- 5 large eggs
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 4 oz cornstarch
- 1 ½ oz protein powder
For the Strawberry Glaze:
- 3 cups fresh strawberries
- 5 Tbsp tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 ½ Tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- First, mix the crushed protein cookies with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a cheesecake pan to form the crust.
- Next, prepare the cheesecake filling by whisking together Greek yogurt, cream cheese, protein powder, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and cornstarch in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Pour the mixture evenly over the prepared crust.
- Then, bake the cheesecake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40 minutes. Once baked, let the cheesecake cool completely.
- Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by blending half of the strawberries until smooth. Transfer to a saucepan, add brown sugar and cornstarch, and cook over medium heat until the mixture boils and thickens slightly. Fold in the remaining whole strawberries and let the glaze cool.
- Finally, pour the cooled strawberry glaze over the cheesecake, spreading it evenly. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator until fully set, then slice and serve.
