Ingredients

• 150 g graham cracker crumbs
• 60 g unsalted butter, melted
• 400 g cream cheese, softened
• 200 g greek yogurt
• 50 g vanilla whey protein powder
• 100 g granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the Greek yogurt, vanilla whey protein powder, and sugar to the cream cheese, mixing well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed until each is incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.

Step 10

Turn off the oven, crack open the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about 30 minutes. This helps prevent cracking.

Step 11

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to fully set.

Step 12

Lift the cheesecake from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place on a cutting board.

Step 13

Slice into 12 even squares and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
