Mini Protein Cheesecakes
Mini Protein Cheesecakes are creamy, delicious and made with healthier ingredients. Each protein cheesecake has less than 200 calories.
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 9 graham crackers
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
For the filling:
- 8 ounces Neufchatel cheese spread - (at room temp.)
- 8 ounces 1% small curd cottage cheese - (at room temp.)
- 1 egg - (at room temp.)
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup almond flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with 12 liners.
- Place the graham crackers in a food processor and process until a crumble has formed. Add the processed crackers into a bowl. Pour melted coconut oil over the top and combine.
- Evenly distribute a little less than 2 tablespoons of the graham cracker mixture into each muffin cavity. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press the crust down. Bake at 325 degrees F for 5-7 minutes.
- Make the filling as the crust cools. Add Neufchatel cheese spread and cottage cheese to a food processor and pulse until creamy (about 90 seconds). Add an egg, coconut sugar and almond flour and process just until combined.
- Evenly distribute the filling on top of the crust. (A little less than 3 tablespoons of the filling in each cavity.) Bake at 325 degrees for 16-18 minutes, or until set.
- Let the cheesecakes cool completely. Then, place them into the fridge for 4-6 hours, or overnight before enjoying.
- You can add toppings on the cheesecakes. I added chocolate drizzle to some. You can also use whipped cream, fresh fruit, jam etc. The options are endless, but they are also delicious plain!
