Protein Cheesecake

[belyro]

One of our local radio stations was talking about this recipe this morning. I've never made it, but it sure sounds good! And it's actually good for you!! :) The only problem is, the nutritional information is "per slice", but it doesn't say how many slices in one cake :confused:


Protein Cheesecake

Ingredients:
2 lbs no fat cream cheese
4 whole eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cinnamon
4 oz (1/2 cup) low no fat milk
1 cup cooking splenda

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using No Fat cooking spray, spray 9" pie pan. Mix ingredients together using an electric blender in a large bowl. Pour mix into pre-greased pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes.

Remove from oven and place directly into refrigerator. Let sit 4-5 hours in the fridge (or overnight).

Chocolate or vanilla protein powder can be added to the mix for flavor and more protein if desired. For special occasions, you can add a little extra to this cheesecake by evenly spreading natural peanut butter on the top after cooking, and drizzling sugarfree free chocolate syrup over each piece.

My guess is, there is 8-9 slices per cheesecake.

You're right, my knife is a bit bent. Or is that life? Or wife? Ohhh the strife! :eek:

Is there really such a thing as NO FAT cream cheese? Does it have all kinds of guar gum, locust bean gum, etcetera to make it feel creamy?

Kraft does make a Fat Free Cream cheese. It does contain numerous "gums". I don't know how it tastes.
