Homemade Berry Topping

I used blueberries here, but this fruit compote recipe works for all kinds of berries! Or try a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce instead.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Here’s what you’ll need to recreate this No-Bake Protein Cheesecake at home:

• Greek yogurt – To nail the cheesecake flavor and sweetness levels, I used two different kinds of Greek yogurt. First is Dannon Light and Fit Vanilla Greek yogurt, which has a nice sweetness to it and is very low sugar. The other is plain non-fat Greek yogurt, though if you want a richer, creamier cheesecake, you could opt for something with higher fat content.
• Cream cheese – I again opted for the lower fat version to make the recipe more macro-friendly. Cream cheese flavor is hard to recreate at home, so I don’t recommend subbing this out!
• Vanilla Casein Protein Powder – Don’t try to substitute with whey protein! If you can’t get your hands on casein protein powder, vanilla pudding mix is the next best thing, though I haven’t tested it with this recipe specifically to see if the substitution is exactly one for one.
• Vanilla extract – helps make the flavor more luxurious and delicious.

why it’s important to use

Casein Protein Powder

Casein protein powder is critical to the success of this recipe. Casein protein helps thicken up the mixture and yields an ultra creamy, cheesecake-like texture. Whey, on the other hand, would leave you with a much denser and runnier result. Do NOT try to use whey protein instead of casein!

If you have to sub it out, try using an instant pudding mix instead. Start out with about 2 tbsp of pudding mix and work your way up to 1/4 cup to see where you like the texture.
