Passionfruit Protein ‘Cheesecake’

Hi, I’m Vicky and I created this blog to hopefully…

This no-bake passionfruit ‘cheesecake’ is the best healthy take on a standard cheesecake. It is gluten free, refined sugar free and full of protein with no compromise on taste and flavour!

You’ll have seen a few ‘cheesecakes’ pop up on my blog (Acai Protein Cheesecake, Raw Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake) it is definitely one of my favourite desserts and always has been seen I was a child. However, I have to say I much prefer my homemade versions of cheesecake compared to shop bought cheesecakes which to me now taste way too sugary (but thats just my preference and not to say you shouldn’t enjoy those as well).

I tend to favour chocolatey or berry based cheesecakes therefore I thought it would be interesting to try a less common and more tangy fruit for the flavour; Passionfruit which works perfectly with the vanilla flavoured Kefir Yoghurt. I choose to use Kefir yoghurt as I’m currently loving this type of yoghurt for its gut friendly probiotic boost. The texture is also so thick and creamy. I have also previously used oats as the base for the cake but I decided to try blitzing up gluten free granola which again worked perfectly.

Heres the recipe for you to try..
