Easy Protein Cheesecake Bites
Serves about 6
Ingredients:
For the crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (I used chocolate)
3 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter) or regular butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling
- 2 cups plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 10-15 drops liquid stevia (you can substitute a sweetener of choice such as Truvia, agave, honey or coconut sugar)
- 2 scoops peanut butter protein powder
- 2 eggs
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
In a bowl, add the graham cracker crumbs and melted ghee or butter and mix well.
Divide the crumbs between each of the muffin cups. Press down firmly to form a crust.
In a food processor, add all of the ingredients for the cheesecake filling. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
Fill each muffin cup with the cheesecake filling. Bake the cheesecakes for about 35 minutes or until the center of the cheesecakes are set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Once cooled, transfer the cheesecakes to the refrigerator and chill for 2 hours.
Serve with fresh fruit or desired toppings
