Crust
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
Filling
- 1 ½ cups Greek yogurt nonfat
- 8 oz low-fat cream cheese softened
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Topping optional
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp honey drizzle
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan lightly with coconut oil. Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, and honey. Mix until it forms a crumbly texture. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, use a mixer to blend Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and protein powder until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. Stir in honey, vanilla extract, and blueberries gently. Assemble and Bake: Pour the filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly but the edges are set. Cool and Chill: Let the cheesecake cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set. Add Toppings and Serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh blueberries and a drizzle of honey if desired. Slice and enjoy!
