Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for High-Protein Cheesecake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush graham crackers and blend with melted butter. Press into a greased springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden and cool.
  2. In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, low-fat cream cheese, protein powder, eggs, vanilla extract, and sweetener. Beat on medium speed until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Blend until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is incorporated. This should take an additional minute or two.
  4. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes. The edges should be set, and the center will have a slight jiggle.
  6. Cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Run a knife around the edges of the pan, release the sides, and slice into portions to serve chilled.
