Ingredients & Substitutions for Healthy Raspberry Cheesecake Bars

Digestive Biscuits-you can sub for equal parts of any biscuit you would like, but I love the texture of digestive biscuits in this recipe

Soy Protein Crisps– Adds extra protein, You can substitute this for an extra 1-2 biscuits. I usethis brandfrom Coles, however for my American readers, I’ve foundthis brandon Amazon.

Butter-Can substitute for equal parts light butter, or oil

Milk-Adds extra moisture into the base without adding extra butter. Can use any kind of milk

Light Cream Cheese-I use a light version as it tastes just as good in my opinion and it has less calories. I recommendPhiladelphia Light Cream Cheese,feel free to use full fat Philadelphia Cream Cheese

Yogurt-I use a high protein vanilla flavoured greek yogurt however plain greek yogurt will work super well. I useYopro High Protein Vanilla Greek yogurt

Egg-Essential to give the cheesecakes and extra smooth and rich texture

Vanilla-Adds flavour but this can be omitted

Sugar free granulated sweetener-Like stevia or natvia. This is optional, you can replace with equal parts normal sugar. I useNatvia

Protein Powder-This recipe uses protein powder to add protein and flavour. It also helps with the texture. If you do not want to use protein, sub for corn starch. I use the veganVanilla ButtercreamfromMacroMike.My affiliate code for Macromike isAMB-ELIYEATS(saves you 10%!)

Lemon Extract-optional

Lemon juice + Zest– essential for the lemon taste

Raspberries-Can use fresh or frozen

Cooking Tips for Healthy Raspberry Cheesecake Bars

• Use room temperature ingredients:This is essential to ensure less air bubbles in the batter. This is because the colder the ingredients are the more lumps that form, resulting in excess mixing and more air bubbles
• Only mix until just combined:The more you mix, the more air bubbles form, resulting in more cracking and a less creamy final product
• Tap the tray on your countertop before baking:This will pop any large air bubbles in the batter
• Use a water bath(optional):As the cheesecakes bake, the hot water helps create a gentle and consistent heat source that surrounds the cheesecakes, which can help prevent them from cracking or curdling. The steam from the water bath also helps keep the cheesecakes moist, giving them a smooth and creamy texture.
• Leave to cool:Leaving the cheesecake to cool in the fridge for 5 or more hours yields the best consistency. If you are in a hurry to eat it you can pop it in the freezer for around 30 minutes until chilled through
