• 80 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 500 grams Low-fat cream cheese
• 200 grams Non-fat Greek yogurt
• 60 grams Protein powder (vanilla)

• 3 large Eggs
• 5 ml Vanilla extract
• 300 grams Fresh strawberries, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form an even crust.

Step 4

In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and protein powder until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add granulated sugar and mix until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 6

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract until incorporated.

Step 7

Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes or until the center is set and the edges are lightly browned.

Step 9

Remove from oven and let the cheesecake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to loosen it.

Step 10

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set completely.

Step 11

Before serving, top the cheesecake with fresh sliced strawberries and a layer of strawberry jam.

Step 12

Carefully release the springform pan and transfer the cheesecake to a serving platter. Slice and serve chilled.
