Easy Protein Cheesecake

Just a few simple ingredients and you've got a rich and creamy sweet tooth satisfying high protein dessert. 

Ingredients:

1 1/3 cups plain Greek yogurt 

3 1/2 tbsps honey

1 1/2 tbsps cornstarch

2 eggs

 

Berry Topping:

8 strawberries, sliced thick

a small handful of blueberries

1 tbsp sugar

1 tsp lemon juice

 

 I used Siggi's plain Greek yogurt with 18g of protein, 3.6%M.F. and only 2% sugar.

Whisk the Greek yogurt, honey, cornstarch and eggs together for 2 minutes, then pour into a 6" springform pan that has been lined with parchment paper. Cover with foil and bake at 300°F for 30 minutes. Increase temperature to 325°F remove the foil and return to the oven for another 25-30 minutes. The middle will still be a little jiggly and the internal temperature should read 175°F. 

Cool 20 minutes then remove the springform pan's ring. Place in the fridge for 2 hours to cool and set. Peel away the parchment and, using a wide spatula, lift the cake onto a plate.

You can serve it plain with a sprinkle of icing sugar, drizzle with melted Biscoff spread or chocolate syrup.

Or try this berry topping. Mix the sliced strawberries, blueberries, sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes. Chill in fridge before topping your cheesecake.
