Cheesecake! Delicious and gulilt free treat

Strawberry High Protein Cheesecake, 
Low Carbohydrate, Low Fat


Its one of everyones favourite treats/desserts but is generally laden in high amounts of sugar, saturated fat and gluten so i have made an alternative that is not only high in protein, low in saturated fat and low in sugar it is also delicious! You can play around with the flavours, i just used what i had in the cupboard! Get creative and enjoy this yummy treat, would be great post workout. Hardly a cheat meal when its this healthy! If you want to really cut the carb content just remove the base and set the filling and just top with a few nuts, yummmmm :)

Indredients: (makes 2 large servings)
Filling

  • 200g cottage cheese reduced fat 
  • 100g natural yoghurt
  • 2 scoop WPI of choice (i used vanilla)
  • dash vanillas essence
  • 1 egg white
  • dash stevia (optional)
  • 1 packet sugar free jelly, mixed with approx 100ml water hot (cool this first)
First make jelly mix and set to cool slightly. Add in all ingredients in a bowel and mix, blend till smooth then add in cooled jelly mix (don't let it set). Then place back in fridge 2-3minutes. Pour into cooled ramekins and place in fridge for 30 minutes until set.


Base
  • 30g almond meal
  • 40g organic gluten free oats or spelt oats or quinoa flakes
  • 1 tbs coconut oil or organic butter

Combine with melted butter or oil in a bowel, place in base of ramekins and blind bake in very hot oven 200 deg for approx 20 mins until golden. Place in fridge/freezer to cool before filling.


When ramekins slightly cool, pour in mixture, should be slightly firm by now, let set for at least 30 minutes before serving :)
ENJOY!!!
