Advert
Cheesecake is already one of my favorites, I must say. I also associate a certain nostalgia with it, because this cake was available at every birthday party or on special occasions. But I have never understood why the whole cheesecake was called that. When I was first told about it, I was also really shocked. Who puts cheese into a cake, I asked myself. It didn’t make sense to me at all. In this blog post, you’ll get to know my personal cheesecake story, and I’ll share an amazing recipe with you – the protein cheesecake.
IS THERE REALLY CHEESE IN THE CAKE?
But the history of cheesecake goes way back. Back when cheesecake was invented, the curd was officially classified as cheese, because curd is a preliminary stage of mature cheese.
You can imagine how big the drama was when I went vegan and thought I had to cross cheesecake off my dietary list…haha fun aside, it wasn’t like that of course. As you know, I made a conscious decision – without any drama!
NOT WITHOUT MY CHEESECAKE!
Of course, I tried a vegan version of a cheesecake pretty fast. With this protein cheesecake, the cheese and nostalgia are back. And even more protein-rich and healthier than the original. The third plus point: it’s not a guilty pleasure anymore!
