Ngl Factor is pretty decent, hopefully they dont raise prices because if they do the portions will def not be worth it.

In case you don't have a scale. 40 grams of flour = 5.12 tablespoons 100 grams of sugars = 8 tablespoons 150 grams of Erythritol = 12 tablespoons 4 grams of salt= a pinch and a half 1 pint of milk = 2 cups Note it's 5 eggs.. 3 whole eggs + 2 yolks only..

I made it, the only change I made was that I don’t care for flavored protein so I just used unflavored protein and added 16g of vanilla bean paste (vanilla flavoring doesn’t have the same intensity/punch as the paste). It came out great, definitely not 1 to 1 to regular cheesecake but it doesn’t have that “protein alternative” taste that most protein dessert recipes have. Good work man. P.S.

You are the only recipe channel I trust implicitly. You say to do step X, I don't vary even a little. You've done the experimental work to see what works best. It's great.

a must try! thanks for what you do!!!

The thing I love about these recipes is if you are meal planning and everything is fat free or zero calorie sweetener, you can have a hard time hitting your macros. Even doing a cut, you still have room for a bit of sugar and fat. Combing fat free and reduced fat cream cheese really does work. Same with regular shredded cheese.

This man does not miss! Looks incredible! Testing this bad boy out asap!

Definitely will try it this Saturday. Im craving for sweet dessert such as cheesecake but it was so calories dense. Luckily you create a lower calories while got good protein too. Thank you so much.

See the pinned comment by Nick for the measurements. This is a quick recap. Thank you Nick!! 1. Add cottage cheese, and the cream cheeses, sugar, erythritol, salt and imitation vanilla 2. Mix 3. Add all eggs one at a time while mixing 4. Pour milk and mix it 5. Add protein and flour mix using a strainer and mix 6. Oil the baking pan and the parchment paper and pour the batter in 7. Bake at 475F for 36 minutes. You must give it a 180 turn half way through

JUST MADE THIS!!! One hundred percent worth it! Takes a bit to make, but WOW. The slices are quite big and very filling. Tastes practically the same as actual cheese cake albeit a little less sweet (I prefer it). Using the ingredients I have, each slice only came out to 325 calories when cut into 8ths. Truly delicious!

How much did this cost?

Just about lost my mind after watching the video! Immediately went out shopping for ingredients. I live in New Jersey, None of the Walmart 20 miles from me had any fat-free cream cheese. Eventually found it at Wegmans!!! Gorilla mode whey was also nowhere to be found, ended up getting a different brand with pretty much identical nutritional/caloric info. My husband also watched the video and circled the kitchen the whole time I was making it, jokingly saying “I’ve never been so excited about a cheesecake my entire life!” It’s AWESOME that everything is given in weight, it really ensures success if followed diligently. Also love the fact that there’s strategic real flour and sugar used, which strikes the perfect balance in taste and nutrition. extreme “no carb” dessert are just not that good. The result was PERFECTION, absolutely delicious!! The whole family, including a picky teen, loved it. I’m now cueing up all of your recipes to watch!❤

You should be able to cut the parchment paper into a flat circle to match the bottom of your pan, so that it doesn't mess up the sides of the cake and still makes it easy to get off the pan.

@lovemarsh8037

3 ай бұрын

I do that with all the cakes i bake. Put the parchment paper on top of the botton part of the pan. Then place the sides of the pan on top of the botton and lock the sides to the botton (with the parchment in between). Afterwards spray the pan like normal and cut the excess parchment paper around the pan. I have notices that this method often makes the pan more leak proof.

Great recipe for sweet tooth cravings but keep you on point when it comes to your diet. Keep crushing it with these recipes!

I didnt expect this to be THAT good, i need to stop underestimating you. You always provide man

I’ve also tried several “diet cheesecakes” using all zero fat cream cheese and all artificial sweeteners…this destroys them. Perfect balance of taste/texture/flavor and macros imo.

Really good recipe. I added the zest of one lemon which i thought was good. Thanks for the recipe, will be making this going forward.

Man, everything you bring to us looks so delicious, i can't honestly wait to try some of the recipes myself, when I move out from my parents.

one way to prevent that extra brown, almost burnt crust: is to add water to the sheet tray. it's recommended to do this before putting it in, so you let as little heat out as possible. although it does make it more difficult. so if you can, get someone else to man the oven door. another option is to spray with water every 10 minutes or so. in doing this, you also get to check on the progression of the cook more thoroughly. but it may take a little longer.

What if I want to add graham cracker crust?

I’m wondering if I can sub out almond flour. Also I would wouldn’t skip out on the fat. I’m on Keto so this is perfect.

If I’m bulking, would full fat cream cheese and cottage cheese make a similar product of high protein but high calorie cheese cake?

I've been testing this recipe out with different variations and the best results for me with ingredients readily available in Sweden is: 200C oven for a total of around 60 min. Replace all dairy with 500g quark (if flavored, use less sweetener), 500g 4% cream cheese (Eldorado has one while Philadelphia light is 11%) and the same 480g 2% milk (I use lactose free, as it often seems to have more protein).

Put the parchment paper in water then crinkle. That helps a lot more.
