Today I discovered a recipe for a protein cheesecake. Just reading the ingredients list was enough to convince me that it was a good recipe. This could be the start of a new era of satisfying my sweet tooth in a ridiculously healthy way. We'll see tomorrow if it came out tasting as good as it smells. The original recipe uses fat free cottage cheese, fat free Greek yogurt, splenda, and 1% milk. I could not find the fat free versions, so I got the lite versions. I don't like cow's milk, so I used rice milk. As for splenda, I'm too health-conscious to use artificial sweeteners in favor of lowering the carb content, so I used raw sugar. Following is my modified version. I may change it further after tasting it tomorrow.
