Crustless, refined sugar-free, and skinny cheesecake made with German Quark cheese, yoghurt, and vanilla flavoured protein powder, then sweetened with honey and bananas and dressed up with a simple blueberry sauce which was beautiful on the cake. A delicious low-carb cheesecake that you can enjoy guilt-free.

CheesecakeBlueberry Sauce
  • 500 g 0.2% Magerquark
  • 200 g 1.5% Plain yoghurt
  • 70 g Whey vanilla protein powder
  • 3 Large egg whites
  • 2 Large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 400 g Fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 4 tbsp Honey
  1. Preheat the oven 150C/300F. Line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Blend all the cheesecake ingredients until well combined. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake in the middle of hot oven for an hour. Turn the oven off and leave cheesecake in oven, with door ajar, for an hour or until center is completely set. Then remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack. Chill the cheesecake at least 4 hours before serving.
  2. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, add blueberries, lemon juice and honey. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat and simmer 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Slide a small knife around edges of cake to loosen it and remove transfer to a cake plate. Garnish with some more blueberries and spoon the sauce over.

    @Vicki Bensinger Quark is a very common fresh cheese in Germany. It is a mild creamy cheese without the sour taste of yogurt. It usually has much lower fat content than cream cheeses and has no salt added.

    Hi there- I was inspired to make this but sadly didn't get a good result. I followed your instructions carefully and didn't sub ingredients. The possible variants are - my whey protein (you don't specify type-I used protein works naked vanilla)and - cooking time. An hour @150 produced a rubbery dry cheesecake for me unfortunately(it was an enormous soufflé part way through but reduced on cooling). Just to be sure I also followed your instructions carefully for leaving it to cool and refrigerating etc but it really wasn't edible. Going to give it another go & halve the cooking time to see if that improves it. Let me know if from your cooking there's another reason it would be like this?

    ReplyDelete
  132. Angie's Recipes6/4/17 15:36

    @rachael williamsSorry that yours didn't turn out well. If it's rubbery, it might be that you over mixed it. Or you can try place a tray of hot water at the bottom of your oven so that it will help keep the cake moist.
