Questions People Ask
Can I make this in a ramekin?
Yes, a ramekin or any small single-serve dish works. Press the crust into the bottom and layer from there.
How is this cheesecake high protein?
Blended cottage cheese and vanilla protein powder go in with the cream cheese, so it sets like real cheesecake with a lot more protein.
Storage
Cover and keep refrigerated up to 2 days. Add the strawberries just before eating. Nutrition is an estimate from standard ingredients and shifts with your protein powder, so run it through a macro calculator with your exact products.
