Cheesecake with protein powder
For the crust :
– 1/9 cup raw granola ( I used the “go raw chocolate granola” which you can purchase on iherb)
– 1,2 tbsp coconut butter
(Note: you can also crush pecans or almonds in a food processor and add melted coconut oil for the crust, then you can add some cacao powder or sweetener if desired)
Start by crushing the granola into tiny pieces and warming/melting the coconut butter then mix them together and put into a ramekin or into cupcake forms.
For the filling:
– 8g cacao butter
– 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (warrior blend from suwarrior protein powder).
– 1/5 tbsp of raw cashew butter (you can also make it yourself by soaking 2 cups of cashew in 4 cups of water overnight then rinsing the cashews and putting them into a highspeed blender, if you want more information on how to make a nut butter just leave a comment and I might right a post all about how to make a nut butter)
Melt the cacao butter in a water bath, then when its melted add the powder and butter mix well with a spoon. (it should get thick, if its too powdery simply add a few drops of water).
Pour the filling onto the crust and put it in the refrigerator to let it firm for a couple of hours.
Oh the top layer I simply warmed and mashed a cup of frozen raspberries with a little bit of stevia.
Without protein powder
The crust for this one is the same as the one above, except that I aded 1/2 of a mashed plum.
For the filling:
-70 ml coconut milk
– 9g of white raw cacao
– 3 tbsp coconut flour
– stevia or sweetener of choice
Start by warming and melting the cacao butter, then add the sweetener, coconut milk and flour. I made to different fillings one was a vanilla flavoured (just added a bit of vanilla bean powder) while the other on was with cacao powder.
Then pour them onto the crust and leave in the refrigerator for a couple of minutes and done!
