High Protein Cheesecake (Sugar-Free & Guilt-Free!)

If you’re anything like me, you love dessert but don’t want to load up on sugar and empty calories. That’s exactly why I created this high-protein, low-calorie cheesecake—a sweet treat that satisfies cravings without sabotaging your goals.

This recipe is rich, creamy, easy to make, and surprisingly filling. Plus, it’s made with simple, whole-food ingredients like cottage cheese and Greek yogurt—no protein powders needed.

🧁 Why You’ll Love This High-Protein Cheesecake:

• ✔️ 16g protein per serving
• ✔️ Just 155 calories
• ✔️ No refined sugar – sweetened with monk fruit
• ✔️ Creamy and satisfying
• ✔️ Perfect for meal prep
• ✔️ Freezer-friendly

📝 Ingredients

• 16 oz (500 g) low-fat cottage cheese
• 3 large eggs
• 3 oz (85 g) nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1/3 cup (60 g) monk fruit sweetener (or any granulated sweetener you like)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

🍽 Directions

1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). If you want an extra silky texture, use a water bath and prep your ramekins or a small baking dish.

2. Whip the eggs
Crack 3 eggs into a large bowl of a mixer. Add monkfruit sweetener and blend well. Don’t worry if the eggs don’t fluff up like they do with sugar—it’s normal for sugar-free recipes.

3. Blend the Cottage Cheese
Add the cottage cheese to a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. This step makes a huge difference in texture!

4. Mix Everything Together
In a large bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, eggs and sweetener mixture, Greek yogurt, and vanilla. Mix until fully smooth.

5. Divide & Bake
Pour the mixture into four ramekins or one small baking dish. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the centers are just set. You can also air fry them if you prefer!

6. Cool & Serve
Let them cool in the oven with the door slightly open (this helps reduce deflating).
