Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a water bath with a large baking dish filled with water on the lower rack.
- Prepare a 9-inch springform pan. For a crust, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter (or coconut oil) and press into the bottom.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the prepared springform pan, level the surface with a spatula, and tap the pan on the counter to release air bubbles.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until the edges are set but the center jiggles.
- Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Let cheesecake rest in the warm oven for 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on the counter for 1-2 hours.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to enhance flavors and set.
- Release the sides of the springform pan, slice into portions, and serve topped with fresh berries or sugar-free chocolate sauce.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to prevent lumps. Avoid overmixing after adding protein powder to keep cheesecake creamy.
