Notes
- Substitutes:
- Storage:
- Store the covered cheesecake in the fridge for up to 5 days. You may freeze for up to 3 months. Remove from the freezer and allow it to thaw overnight. Place the cheesecake in freezer-safe containers if you plan to freeze any.
- in place of coconut oil, you may use butter or any other neutral-tasting oil
- pecans: use any other nuts of choice like walnuts or almonds
- low-calorie sweeteners can be something like Truvia or monk fruit. You may use honey or maple syrup for a vegan option.
- any protein of choice will work, plant-based for vegans, and you may also skip the protein
- yogurt: plant-based for a vegan option or any other yogurt of choice
- cream cheese is recommended. For a healthier option consider blending and using low-fat cottage cheese. If there are any plant-based cream cheese use it.
