You know how some people put a recipe on their gravestone? THIS WOULD BE MINE! This High Protein Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake is 41% protein, which sounds insane. It's so good though that I would eat it even if it had no protein so it's just a bonus! This is an incredibly easy recipe to make; great for beginners! It makes 8 servings and would make a perfect pre or post-workout snack or dessert (also low-key, I will definitely be eating this for breakfast).

Ingredients

Cheesecake Filling

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cup TVP Textured Vegetable Protein (I use Bob's Red Mill), do NOT re-hydrate TVP
  • 3 tbsp Ground Flax Seed
  • 9 tbsp Water
  • 4 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Cocoa Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Flour

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 F (177 C).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of ground flax seed with 9 tablespoons of water. Let sit for a minimum of 5 minutes.

Making the Filling

  • In a high powered blender, blend the tofu until very smooth and creamy.
  • In a large bowl, pour tofu out of blender. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Sift the powdered sugar and the PBFit into the bowl (if you don't have a sifter, you don't necessarily need to sift these ingredients, I just think it makes the filling creamier and smoother). Whisk together well.
  • Add in the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk together well until it is creamy and well mixed; there should be no lumps.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips.

Making the Crust

  • In a medium size bowl, mix all of the ingredients listed in the crust section together. I literally just used a fork and make sure everything is very well mixed.

Assembly

  • In you pie pan, dump your crust "dough" and evenly smooth it out on the bottom of the pan and up the sides.
  • Pour your cheesecake filling on top of the crust and smooth out evenly.
  • Bake in oven for 40 - 50 minutes. Should be pretty firm when it's down with a slight jiggle left in the middle of the cheesecake.
  • Let it cool at room temperature (on the counter) for 2 hours.
  • Move to fridge for another 2 hours until completely cooled down. Then serve!
