Ingredients

For the Cheesecake

  • 8 oz Fat Free Cream Cheese room temp or softened
  • 1 C 244g Canned Pumpkin
  • 1 C 227g Fat Free Greek Yogurt, vanilla or plain
  • 1 Tbsp White Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Red Food Color
  • 3/4 C 144g Swerve Granular (or a granulated sugar substitute)
  • 3 scoops 93g PEScience Select Protein Powder, vanilla
  • 1/4 C 20g Unsweetened Dark Cocoa Powder
  • 9 " Oreo Pie Crust

For the Frosting

  • 4 oz Fat Free Cream Cheese room temp or softened
  • 2 Tbsp 28g Light Butter
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste or extract
  • 1 C 144g Swerve Confectioners (or a powdered sugar substitute)
  • 1 scoop 31g PEScience Select Protein Powder, vanilla

Instructions

  • For the Cheesecake
  • Preheat oven to 350F and place the Oreo pie crust on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes once the oven is preheated. Set aside.
  • Add the cream cheese, pumpkin, Greek yogurt, vinegar, and food color to a large mixing bowl. (I used a stand mixer.) Mix until smooth.
  • Add the 3 scoops of protein powder, Swerve granular, and cocoa powder. Mix until smooth.
  • Add the mixture to the Oreo pie crust, spreading to its edges in an even layer.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top layer starts to develop a slight crust (firm to the touch). There should still be some wobble. Remove from the oven to cool.
  • For the Frosting
  • Mix the cream cheese and light butter together before adding the Swerve confectioners and 1 scoop of protein powder. Mix until no lumps remain.
  • Add the frosting to the cheesecake once it's cooled for a few minutes.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours (overnight is ideal). Refrigerate the leftover cheesecake or slice and freeze to extend its shelf life.
