Use cookie and cream-flavoured casein protein powder for a dessert-like taste.
Maple syrup works great as a sweetener, but you can substitute it with your preferred option.
Refrigerating overnight is essential for the cheesecake to set properly.
Can I use whey protein instead of casein protein powder?
Casein protein is recommended because it provides a thicker texture, but you can experiment with whey protein if desired.
How long should I refrigerate the cheesecake?
Refrigerate overnight for the best texture and flavour.
Can I use regular peanut butter instead of powdered peanut butter?
Yes, but powdered peanut butter helps keep the topping lighter and less dense.
What type of sweetener works best?
Maple syrup is a great option, but you can use any sweetener you prefer, such as honey or stevia.
Can I skip the chocolate chips?
Yes, but the chocolate chips add a fun texture and extra sweetness to the cheesecake.
