cookies & cream anything just slaps — but this version of my protein cheesecake bites is next level! 🤤 high-protein, sugar-free, & gluten-free with that classic cookies & cream flavor we all love. the cheesecake center (aka the best part, obviously) tastes like the inside of an oreo… except you get way more of it!

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

preheat oven to 325.
in a food processor, add cereal & blitz into powder.
add melted fat & water to crust & mix well.
add 1 small cookie scoop of crust mixture to the bottom of a muffin tin.
bake crust for ~10 minutes.
remove inside of cookies (the frosting) & add to a bowl with cashew butter.
soften in the microwave for 15-30 seconds.
clean out blender, then add the frosting & cashew butter + all protein cheesecake ingredients & blend well.
pour 1 large cookie scoop of cheesecake mixture on top of each crust.
in a food processor, add outsides of sandwich cookies from what you used in the cheese cake + ~4-6 full sandwich cookies & sea salt; blitz into a crumble.
transfer to a bowl, then add in nut butter, & a little bit of water until more of a streusel forms.
after adding scoop of cheesecake, add streusel, then bake for 25-30 minutes or until set.
melt white chocolate chips, then drizzle on top of each bite (I melted the chocolate, then added to a small zip lock bag. then cut a tiny hole in the corner & pipe onto each bite).
refrigerate to allow to complete cool; I store them in the freezer & microwave for 10-15 seconds to thaw.
