Peanut Butter Cheesecake

This recipe was inspired by my brother in law. He loves peanut butter, and always asks me to make him something peanut butter when he sees me baking. He loves cheesecake as well, and the other day I saw him tucking into a huge slice of cheesecake drenched in peanut butter for breakfast.

Although it was delicious, he shortly after had tummy ache and felt extremely bloated and lethargic. I decided to whip him up a lighter, high protein version ( that is suitable for breakfast) and he absolutely LOVED IT! Furthermore, he was able to feel full and energised after eating it and didn’t feel the same lethargic feeling that he had from eating the traditional version!

Breakfast Cheesecake

Okay, now we all know I LOVE cheesecakes. I have an amazing baked cheesecake recipe in my ‘You Can Beat Your Cravings Guide’ and ofcorse have my no bake varieties on the blog like chocolate & even pumpkin pie! However, there is just something about having cheesecake for breakfast! My grandfather would always eat leftover cake for breakfast and to this day he still does! Every time I see him tucking into a slice of cake (filled with white flour, sugar and all that) I can’t help but feel like there has to be a way that he can enjoy his cake, but get some added benefits too!

And so, my peanut butter breakfast cheesecake was born! This recipe is designed for you to eat the entire recipe for breakfast, but if you prefer it as a snack you can make 3-4 cheesecakes with the batter!

How do you make the peanut butter breakfast cheesecake

The Ingredients

Smooth Cottage Cheese- This is the key to making the cheesecake high-protein! If you do not have access to smooth cottage cheese, you can take chunky plain cottage cheese and blend it up in a high speed blender. I recommend using low-fat, but full cream works as well.

Yoghurt- I like to use low fat plain yoghurt

Powdered peanut butter- You can replace this with normal peanut butter if you prefer

Granulated sweetener of choice- For calorie free, I use monk fruit sweetener or stevia! You can use any granulated sugar of choice

Gelatine- Important to help the cheesecake set

Milk of choice- I love to use almond milk but any milk of choice would work!

(Optional) Vanilla extract- To add that delicious vanilla flavour while not being over powering!

Method:

1.

In a high speed blender or food processor, combine all the ingredients above.

3.

Pour into a jar or bowl and place in the fridge to set for a minimum of 1 hour.
