Ingredients
  

Cheesecake Base
  • 1 block low fat cream cheese room temperature
  • 2 scoops PE Science Oreo protein powder whey/casein blend
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/4 cup sugar substitute erythritol or monk fruit
  • 1 pinch salt
Topping
  • 1 zero sugar Oreo cookie crumbled

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and liberally grease a 4-inch mini cheesecake tin with non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, use a silicone spatula to cream the room-temperature low-fat cream cheese until it is completely smooth and lump-free.
  3. Add the protein powder, sugar substitute, and salt. Mix slowly until a thick paste forms and the dry ingredients are fully integrated.
  4. Whisk in the milk, then gently whisk in the eggs one at a time. Mix until just combined to avoid trapping excess air in the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared 4-inch tin and sprinkle the crumbled zero-sugar Oreo over the top, pressing slightly.
  6. Bake on the center rack for 20-25 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center must still have a slight jiggle when tapped.
  7. Remove from the oven and cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) before slicing.

Notes

Mini Oreo Cheesecake Tips & Expert Strategy

PAN SIZE WARNING: This recipe is strictly formulated for a 4-inch tin. Using a standard 6-inch or 8-inch pan will cause the batter to spread too thin, resulting in a flat, overbaked, and extremely dry texture.
WHEY VS CASEIN WARNING: Do not use 100% whey isolate. The protein structure cannot handle the sustained heat and will result in a rubbery, spongy puck. A whey/casein blend is mandatory for the creamy texture.
THE OVERNIGHT RULE: While technically safe to eat after 2 hours of chilling, the flavor profile and dense texture improve drastically if allowed to sit in the fridge overnight. This allows the casein to fully hydrate.
PRO FINISH: To ensure clean slices, run a sharp chef's knife under hot water, wipe it completely dry with a towel, and slice while the blade is still warm.
