Healthy cheesecake recipe without cream cheese

This lotus cheesecake recipe is so smooth, creamy and rich, you won’t believe it’s made with such clean ingredients! There is no butter, no cream cheese, and no refined sugar. It is completely guilt free, protein packed, and low in calories! 

It’s definitely not a traditional cheesecake. But for a cheesecake with almost no fat, or carbs, and so high in protein, it tastes absolutely amazing! I served it to my dairy loving friends after I made it and they couldn’t believe it was healthy and so high in protein! 

I have a major sweet tooth, like a MAJOR one. When I was younger I obsessed over food, and my body weight.

I avoided all carbs and sugars like the plague. Thankfully I have outgrown that phase in my life and I enjoy everything in moderation now!

I’m definitely not the kind of person who deprives themselves. If I’m craving something sweet after dinner (or after lunch, sue me), I’m going to honour the cravings and just opt for a healthier option.

is why I started my food blog in the first place, as I was so passionate about healthy alternatives to my favourite foods and baked goods! I’ve recently been loving making a healthier version of one of my all time favourite desserts, cheesecake.

Ingredients You Will Need For This Low Carb Cheesecake

  • Cottage cheese
  • Greek yogurt
  • PEScience protein – I used Strawberry Cheesecake flavour
  • Egg
  • Baking powder
  • Maple syrup
  • Salt

How To Make Healthy High Protein Biscoff Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. 
  2. Add all ingredients to a high speed blender, and blend until smooth. 
  3. Pour mixture into two small ramekins, or one small oven safe dish. I love getting mine second hand from consignment stores so you can choose exactly which size you want and not pay an arm and a leg for it!
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes in the small ramekins, or 30-35 minutes in the singular oven safe dish. 
  5. Let cool, then put it in fridge overnight. 
  6. I topped mine with Biscoff Spread and a crumbled biscoff biscuit. This was an amazong topping as it almost mimicked a graham cracker crust. You could also top with low sugar berry compote, peanut butter and chocolate, or whatever you like on your cheesecake!

WHY I LOVE THIS BISCOFF PROTEIN CHEESECAKE

One thing I absolutely love about this recipe is you can make a bunch of variations! You can either switch up the protein powder used, add some fruit compotes, make a crust for the base, or even add chocolate and peanut butter to make a turtle cheesecake! A few of my favourites are white chocolate cheesecake, mini oreo cheesecake or a vanilla cheesecake which I will share the recipes for all at a later date! Using different flavoured extracts to adjust flavours would also work well! 

I also love that this recipe only contains 6 ingredients, and it’s SO easy to make! Cheesecake is a labour of love, and this high protein healthier version is much more quick and easy!

PRO TIP, you could make this recipe with whey protein alone but it will NOT be nearly as creamy. Pure whey protein is much more tricky to bake with as it dries out and leaves most baked goods crumbly and disastrous. PEScience Protein is a 50% whey and 50% casein blend making it optimal for baking, which is why it’s the only protein powder I will use in my baking!

What could be better than having cheesecake as a post workout sweet treat? The high protein also makes it a great bedtime snack that will leave you satisfied and feed your muscles throughout the night. You do not have to feel guilty about this recipe (even though you should never feel guilt for enjoying the foods you love once in awhile)!

This delicious, healthy cheesecake keeps very well! I love making 2 at once to have on hand whenever I’m craving something sweet and satisfying. Leftovers can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to a week.
