Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Cream cheese
- 200 g Greek yogurt
- 60 g Whey protein powder (vanilla flavored)
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 20 g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 210°C (410°F).
Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring the paper comes up above the edges of the pan.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the Greek yogurt to the cream cheese and mix until well combined.
Gradually incorporate the granulated sugar into the mixture, beating until fully dissolved and smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a creamy consistency.
Sift in the whey protein powder and all-purpose flour, then gently fold into the mixture until just combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing just until incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan, spreading it evenly.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is deeply browned on top and slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature in the pan.
Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to set.
Remove from the refrigerator, slice, and enjoy your high protein Basque cheesecake!
