Kimberly's Kitchen - Low Sugar, Low Fat, Protein Cheesecake

It is hard to resist temptations all the time so, I have started finding recipes and modifying them.  Try to satisfy a sweet tooth at the same time as getting in needed protein all while sticking to my diet. This post is for low fat, low calorie protein filled chocolate cheesecake! Enjoy!

Ingredients
12oz Green Mountain Farms Brand Greek Cream Cheese & Greek Yogart
10oz Fage Brand Plain Greek Yogurt
2 Whole Eggs
1-2 Tbsp Stevia
¼ Cup So Delicious Brand Unsweetened Almond Milk
2 Scoops (2 ounces) Nectar Brand Chocolate Truffle Whey Protein Isolate Powder
2 Tbsp Hershey's Brand Special Dark Cocoa Powder
1tsp pure Vanilla Extract
Dash Salt

Preparation
Preheat oven to 325°. Add softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl with eggs and stevia. Mix using an electric mixer. Add in the rest of the ingredients and continue mixing for 2-3 minutes. Pour into cheesecake pan lined with parchment paper for best results. Bake at 325° for 25 minutes then turn down the oven to 200° and continue baking for an additional hour. Let cool in fridge for 4-5 hours.

Here is a little Nutritional Info. Comparison
High Protein Chocolate Cheesecake (4oz)  vs. Regular New York Style Cheesecake (4oz)
Calories per serving (4oz.) 67.5  vs. 225
Fat 2.25 grams vs. 16 grams
Carbohydrates 2.63 vs. 18
Sugar 1.94 grams vs. 11 grams
Protein 12 grams vs. 2 grams


You can see I didn't soften my cream cheeses quite enough so it left little bits of cream cheese in the finished cake. 
But, still tastes AMAZING!
