Ingredients for your low carb cheesecake with cherries
So that the guilty conscience is not too big, our cheesecake becomes low carb. Instead of flour, we use protein powder with vanilla flavor. This makes the cake mega delicious!
The combination of vanilla and cherries is simply stunning! What must also not be missing is a little lemon. More precisely, the grating of the lemon peel. Because that's what makes a low carb cheesecake really delicious!
The protein powder is already sweetened. Very often with stevia. Since it's already sweet, you don't need to sweeten cheesecakes. If the low carb cheesecake is not sweet enough for you, you can add a little bit of Erythritol* help.
The protein cheesecake is bursting with protein - it consists of almost half protein. On the one hand, this is due to the protein powder and the quark. And on the other hand, the eggs.
If you forget to look carefully at the cherries, you might even bake one or the other unwanted protein :D
You can prevent this by taking a close look at the cherries when they are pitted. By the way, you can also add cherries to delicious cherry grits Process. Yummy.
Now it's getting sweet! Homemade cherry grits!

A little tip: Whether you put the cherries on the cake or in the dough is up to you. It's a purely visual thing.
We have chosen a cheesecake with cherries, where the fruit is stretched into the dough. So there is still enough space on the protein cheesecake for fresh cherries as decoration :)
Yummy! Quark casserole with cherries!
Tips so that the low carb cheesecake succeeds
Every oven bakes differently. Therefore, you should keep a good eye on the protein cheesecake.
I always rotate the baking pan a bit after half the baking time, otherwise one side will brown and the other will not.
If you notice that your low carb cheesecake is already well browned, but not yet ready, cover it with aluminum foil or baking paper. This protects the protein cake from a too brown complexion :)
If your protein cheesecake is ready, do the stick test. Take a wooden skewer and poke it into the middle of the cake. If the dough sticks to the wooden stick, the low carb cheesecake needs a few more minutes.
Have you tried our pancakes with cherry grits?
The flourless cheesecake tastes especially delicious when the cake is lukewarm. You can heat it in the microwave. But of course it also tastes great cold!
It is important that you store the low carb cheesecake in the refrigerator! Put a lid or a bowl on top so that the cheesecake does not dry out.
At least as important is the shelf life of the protein cheesecake. Since you are working with fresh fruit, you should eat the cake within 3 days. Fruits tend to mold quickly.
If you are afraid that the protein cheesecake will go bad, just take it to the office. You can freeze cheesecake. For this, the cheesecake must be well cooled. Cut the cake into pieces and put it in storage containers. When thawing, put the cake in the refrigerator.
Our conclusion
If you want to bake a cheesecake, you can easily do without carbohydrates. A low carb cheesecake with cherries tastes even much better than a cake with flour. This protein cheesecake is incredibly moist and ready to stir in just a few minutes.
