Love cheesecake? This cheesecake is just like the real thing, only it has no cream cheese! Made with greek yogurt, these are packed with protein, gluten-free, and are complete with a graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
For the filling
2 cups non-fat greek yogurt
2 eggs
1 Tbsp gluten-free flour (or if not gluten-free, use all purpose)
½ cup stevia for baking (or any dry non-sugar substitute, or 15 packets stevia)
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, add in the greek yogurt and whisk until smooth. Next, add in the vanilla and whisk. Then, add in the stevia and flour a little at a time, whisking after each addition.
Once the cheesecake filling is whisked until smooth, set aside
Next, start the base. Mist or lightly oil an 8x8 pan.
In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, flax, whey protein and liquid stevia (if using).
Once dry ingredients combined, drizzle in the melted butter and stir until its all combined.
Press the graham crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the 8x8 square pan. Ensure you pack it down firmly.
Then pour over the cheesecake filling and spread it around so its even.
Place in the oven and bake for approx. 45 minutes
When its done, it will just start to go golden around the edges, and it will jiggle slightly in the middle shake it side to side slightly.
If it still seems too liquidy in the middle, bake for a few minutes longer.
Allow to cool completely, then put into the fridge and allow to chill completely.
Will take 1-2 hours to completely chill in the fridge.
Keep stored in the fridge with tin foil over top of the pan.
Notes
I haven't tried freezing it, but I assume it would freeze well in a sealed container for up to a month.
