This is an easy no-bake chocolate & vanilla protein cheesecake to help with a sweet craving. Made in a cupcake mold for a perfect single serving treat.
This mini protein cheesecake combines pure almond flour and cacao with a touch of sweetener for the crust. The filling uses Trutein vanilla bean protein powder. Red Velvet Cake, Chocolate, or Salted Caramel are also great options. Trutein is a blend of whey, egg, and casein proteins.
This recipe also works with plant-based protein powders. I recommend chocolate with a bit of cacao added as well as a dash of sweetener.
It’s hard to be patient, but place in freezer for at least 20 minutes to chill and firm them up before enjoying.
