Dietary Benefits

Ingredients You Need

Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt (200g)

This adds creaminess and protein without extra fat. Do not substitute with flavored yogurt, as it will alter sweetness and texture.

2% Cottage Cheese (120g)

Blended cottage cheese gives structure and protein. Full-fat will make the cheesecake heavier and higher calorie.

Fat-Free Cream Cheese (120g)

Essential for that classic cheesecake flavor. Reduced-fat can work, but full-fat will change the macros significantly.

Biscoff Spread (35g + 15g for swirl)

This provides the signature cookie butter flavor. Swapping this out will completely change the recipe, so this is not optional.

Cookie Butter Emulsion (5g)

Boosts Biscoff flavor without adding extra fat or sugar. Optional, but highly recommended.

Large Egg (1) + Egg Whites (50g)

These help the cheesecake set while keeping it light and protein-rich.

Vanilla Whey/Casein Protein Powder (35g)

A blend works best for texture. Whey alone can make the cheesecake rubbery.

Powdered Peanut Butter (15g)

Adds depth and helps balance sweetness. Regular peanut butter will not work the same.

Sugar-Free Cheesecake Pudding Mix (14g)

Critical for structure and flavor. Skipping this will result in a softer, less stable cheesecake.

Zero-Calorie Sweetener (10g)

Adjust to taste depending on your protein powder.

Step-by-Step Directions

Add all wet ingredients to a small blender. Blend on LOW for 5 to 7 seconds only. Over-blending incorporates air and causes cracking.

In a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients thoroughly to prevent clumps.

Slowly fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable. Do not overmix.

Divide batter evenly between four 4-inch springform pans placed on an oven-safe pan with sides.

Melt the additional Biscoff spread and swirl gently on top using a toothpick.

Wrap the bottoms and sides of each pan tightly with aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in.

Add warm water to the outer pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pans. This water bath ensures even cooking.

Bake at 300°F for 30 minutes.

Turn the oven off, crack the door slightly, and leave the cheesecakes inside for another 25 minutes.

Remove and cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight to fully set.

Add toppings if desired and freeze for 30 to 60 minutes to firm up before serving.

Tips for Success

  • Do not skip the water bath. I tried once, and the centers collapsed badly.
  • Blend the wet ingredients briefly. Too much air leads to cracks.
  • Chill fully before serving. Cheesecake texture improves with time.
  • Use a whey/casein blend protein for best results.
  • Keep oven temperature low and steady to avoid overcooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this without Biscoff?

Not really. This recipe is built around Biscoff flavor. Substituting will require a full reformulation.

How should I store these?

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Can I freeze them?

Yes. Freeze without toppings for best texture, up to 2 months.
