Ingredients
Base
- 2 Weetabix biscuits
- 100 ml unsweetened almond milk
Cheesecake Layer
- 200 ml 0% fat yogurt
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
Topping
- ½ to 1 tbsp Nutella or chocolate spread
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare Weetabix Base: Combine the 2 Weetabix biscuits and 100 ml almond milk using a fork until the Weetabix absorbs the liquid and forms a firm paste.
- Form Base Layer: Transfer the Weetabix mixture into a small bowl or container and spread evenly to create the cheesecake base.
- Make Yogurt Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix 200 ml 0% fat yogurt with 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder until fully combined.
- Add Cheesecake Layer: Pour the yogurt and protein powder mixture over the Weetabix base and spread evenly to cover the base.
- Prepare Nutella Topping: Mix ½ to 1 tablespoon Nutella with 1 tablespoon maple syrup to thin and sweeten it, then drizzle the mixture on top of the yogurt layer.
- Create Swirls: Use the end of a teaspoon or a thin utensil to drag through the Nutella topping, creating decorative swirls by mixing it slightly into the yogurt layer.
- Chill to Set: Place the assembled cheesecake in the refrigerator and allow it to set overnight or for at least a couple of hours before serving.
Notes
- Adjust Nutella amount based on your desired sweetness and richness.
- Use unflavored or chocolate protein powder depending on preference; this recipe uses chocolate flavor for enhanced taste.
- This recipe is best served chilled and is perfect for a quick breakfast or dessert.
- For a vegan option, substitute yogurt with plant-based yogurt and ensure protein powder is vegan-friendly.
- Ensure the Nutella and maple syrup layer is thin to avoid overpowering the light yogurt flavor.
