This has to be my favorite recipe from you so far. Cake tastes amazing and knowing I can actually eat more than a slice without consuming a thousand calories sheesh! You really deserve more views and subs man. Hopefully your channel will blow up soon
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re enjoying this one. This is one of my favs too bc I loveee cheesecake
Not only is this better than a protein bar due to the calories/protein, but the size of this makes it 10x better than a protein bar.
Right! Less cals, more protein, AND it’s way bigger in size! It’s a win-win-win 🕺
I've made many of your recipes in the past, and they've all been super good, so I had high hopes for this one. There is no exaggeration when I say that this is EASILY the best protein recipe I've tried. It tastes, to me, exactly like a regular cheesecake, except with a fraction of the calories, and tons more protein. I'm gonna have to start making this at least once a week xD thanks Rahul!
Congrats on the 1k and thanks for the awesome content! Love your recipes man. Keep it up!
Thanks so much Michael!
I made this. It is freaking delicious and filling. Thank you very much.
Both the cheesecake filling and the merengue wasn’t as thick and stiff as yours. I don’t know why. But it firmed in the fridge and tasted amazing.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Letting it firm in the fridge makes a huge difference and it’s well worth the wait!
Congrats my man on that 1k! I hope to join you guys soon!
As for the cake man whoooo looks so legit. Love how it’s not runny and give that cheesecake feel 🔥
I have no doubt you will in no time! Love your vids man, you’re absolutely killing it ✊
Thank you for written recipe, looks so delish
You got it!
I am absolutely excited to make this! Great video man.
Thanks Adam, hope you enjoy!
I'm literally going to the store right now to make this & the protein gummies, keep it up!
Enjoy Melanie! :)
Made this yesterday and was too excited to wake up to a low calorie cheesecake. Thank you for this video I love the recipe, I will be making it again!!!
Waiting overnight is the hardest part but so worth it!
The first time I saw one of your videos, I thought specifically if Will Tennyson.. you guys have a similar energy on screen 😂 what a collab that would be!
Haha that’d be so awesome, I love his videos. Been watching him for 3 years
This looks amazing. Definitely trying it 🤤
Thanks Karlo!
Congrats on 1k man! holy cow almost 1/4 way to 2k already!! Can't wait to get into this recipe!
Appreciate you my man! Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy this one :)
I need that cheesecake!!! Thanks Rahul, keep the yum coming. 😋
It’s too good!!
You are a food wizard!! You are the low calorie food whisperer!!! This is so delicious! I no longer need to waste 2000 calories on a slice of cheesecake factory cheesecake!! Thank you so much!😍😍😍😋😋😋
I got you!! No room for cheesecake factory cheesecake out here 🙅♂️
Love this recipe. Can't wait for your channel to blow up!
Thank you so much! :)

Thank you!

🙌🙌🙌
Congrats Rahul. Your content and consistency are excellent. Keep up the great work
Thank you John! Appreciate it ✊
Just made this recipe bro!! Super psyched to try it out tonight, everything has worked well so far.
Let me know how you like it! The hardest part is letting it cool completely in the fridge, but it’s well worth the wait :)
@@RahulKamat Yeah man totally!! Cant wait to try it out, also love your chocolate coffee ice cream recipe. The frozen coffee cubes are genius, literally tastes like a frappuccino!!
Thanks man! So happy you liked it
Thanks! I redownloaded your cookbook.
Just noticing that your earlier recipes have links to the corresponding TH-cam vids. Nice!!!!
I tried ridiculous brownies with Fanta and it was soooo good. 10/10 recommend
Orange and chocolate sound like a great combo!
You're killing me!!!! I want this now!!!!!!!
🤠🤠
I use cherry Coke Zero to make them all time and I love them!
Ooh definitely trying cherry coke next!
The cheesecake looks amazing.👍
Thank you :)
you are an inspiration to all
Thank you :)
This is crazzzzy
It’s soo good, doesn’t feel like a low cal compromised cheesecake!
Not a problem bro, glad I can be a part of the Anabolic gang here at your channel. My subscription is the least I can do 💪🤙
Appreciate you! So happy you’re a part of this channel
You need to send over these killer recipes to Will Tennyson and get featured in one of his videos as the world needs to see your recipes.
Haha thank you! His vids are awesome I’d love to see him try some of these recipes
Tried the magic shell ice cream and it was insane. Definitely trying this one at some point man
So glad you liked the magic shell! Let me know how you like this when you try it out man
Recipe of the year. And what’s even cooler about you Is you stay out of the whole “anabolic drama” going on right now on TH-cam with these catty circles. Keep up the great work man
Thanks Christian!
What's the drama? Something new or Remington James stuff?
Congrats my man. Also. Great idea for a cheesecake base!
Thanks man! :)
Just made this today (it smelled absolutely DELICIOUS while cooking), can't wait to try it tomorrow!
Let’s gooo!! So excited for you to try it! Letting it cool completely is hard but def worth the wait. Let me know how you like it!
@@RahulKamat Just had a quarter of the cheesecake, absolutely divine! Really tastes like a high-calorie luxurious cheesecake. Unreal a quarter is only 175 cals! Will defo be making it again, might try some different flavdrops to mix it up a bit :)
I know right! It tastes like a high cal cheesecake! I’m so glad you liked it! Flavdrops in this sound great
I made this last night and am having a slice now. Bruv..........OMG, game changer my man! This is seriously amazing!
Let’s gooooo!! Thank you! I’m so happy you liked it
@@RahulKamat Freaking loved it!! Question: what would happen if you omitted the baking powder?
From the crust? It just won’t rise as much but it shouldn’t make too big of a difference. Baking powder also helps thicken the batter a bit
@@RahulKamat Thanks brother!
You got it! 🕺
Made this and I am eating the entire thing for breakfast
Haha amazing man! Some people eat eggs and greek yogurt for breakfast while we turn those ingredients into a cheesecake 🕺
Making this tomorrow. I was going to make the French silk cookies again, but I am looking forward to eating half of this whole cheesecake for dessert tomorrow…
I love your diet soda collection 😃
1 diet soda a day keeps the doctor away... maybe not but it keeps the diet more enjoyable 🤷♂️
Still curious what the mountain dew was. 🤔 I heard something about watermelon, that's all I could gather
I’ve never liked cheesecake (plus I’m allergic to dairy) but I’m going to make this for my dad. Bc he gives no Fs for healthy eating/weight but I want him to live!
Thank you for your assistance.
Hope your dad enjoys this cheesecake!
Dude, tomorrow is my birthday, and I'm so gonna make this for dessert. Looks absolutely awesome, and because there's no protein powder in it, I think my wife will actually like it too. Thank you!
Happy Birthday man, hope you have an awesome day and enjoy some delicious cheesecake! Let me know how your bday goes and how you like the cheesecake!
@@RahulKamat Thanks man, will do!
Fantastic video and fantastic channel Rahul 👏 Boe send me here from here Ins and can't stop watching your videos 😁 Love your vibes 🙏
Thanks so much!! Appreciate you! :)
What is this personality. Amazing 🤣!!!
Thanks :)
Your channel is dope!! Keep it up👍🏼
Thanks so much! 🙏
I'm gonna make this for father's day! Will let you know how it goes
Awesome! Keep me posted on how you like it!
This is a good one! If the yogurt is "watery" when you open it, put a paper towel into it and it will soak up all the liquid.
Nice tip!
Using a brownie as crust is pretty smart! And its beautiful!
btw if you have troubles separating whites and yolks, try cooling the eggs first
Thanks for the tip! I ran through so many eggs to separate them for this vid, never knew cooling them helps
@@RahulKamat it stabilizes the yolk, less likely to break
I already know this channel is gonna blow up in subscribers, just know I called it out early 🔥
Your support means everything to me, thanks so much
Must. Make. Tonight.
Enjoy! Let me know how you like it :)
Pretty wild macros🔥
Right man! And it’s big, no small cheesecake here 🙅♂️
Love your recipes, already tried the marshmallow one, it's a gem!
Will this work, if instead of cream cheese, I use skyr (it's like greek yogurt)? So, like, just a bunch of greek yogurt, no cream cheese?
I’ve never used skyr but I’m not sure how subbing out cream cheese would work because it’s the main ingredient in cheesecake. I think it will be tasty but may not taste like a real cheesecake
Omg I need to try this 😍. Also boo done a magic protein bread recipe recently and the blondie version. Could try that!
I made the magic protein bread today for the first time and it was so good! The outside is crusty, inside is soft/fluffy just like real bread! Haven’t tried the blondie so I’ll try that next :)
@@RahulKamat amazing!! I just ordered the husk powder after watching your video about it and then seeing her recipe!! Can't wait to try!!!
Psyllium is great, I use it in my protein bar recipe as well! And her magic protein bread recipe is awesome, it turned out so much better than I expected!
@@RahulKamat I bought the silicone molds for them bars. I've binged watched your videos ahaha 😝 love how your work is getting recognised!!!
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the vids! Appreciate you 🙏
I’m so excited to try this!! Idk if I just missed this in the video but what size cheesecake pan do you use?
If you do, let me know how you like it! I used a 9 inch pan
Hey Rahul, loving your content lately! We don’t get FF cream cheese here in the 3rd world (South Africa), the closest we get is Kiri medium fat. Do you think the recipe will work if I do a 50/50 of the Kiri and a FF smooth cottage cheese?
I think it will work as long as the cottage cheese is smooth and creamy!
lmaooo ur hilarious dude, first recipe vid where i was legit laughing at a bunch of parts
:)
Congratulations Rahul!!! You are MY CHEESECAKE KING!!!Love Love Love Your videos! You’re recipes look super yummy! YOUR Idea of changing your the flavors.with different sodas is Fire 🔥... Have you tried a “Brownie Mix” with Diet Cherry Coke? Please keep making more Anabolic CHEESE CAKES!! Love&Light from California 💗💗 one more idea... have you tried portioning them & freezing on a stick? Portable Anabolic Cheesecake? Just a thought...😜💝
I’ve never tried a boxed brownie mix with diet soda. WOAH... anabolic cheesecake on a stick, that sounds like a great idea!
I was just thinking about it when you compared it to a protein bar... Your recipes are unique in the way you use more eggs instead of protein powder..
That’s awesomeness 💗💗
I tried making this with protein powder and it doesn’t taste as good, so I’d rather leave it out since the cheesecake has a lot of protein anyway. No need to add protein powder it it’s not necessary :)
My favorite soda would probably be SURGE. It's where I got all my vitamins and minerals when I was growing up.
I’ve never had that soda before. My fav growing up was Fanta/orange soda
I want cereal back on my menu. Make it happen, magic hands😤🥺
Should of went with cream soda just tried it yesterday. It was good very sweet. The mango is awesome but your right. don't know about a mango brownie.
Sparkling water also works if you don’t want the additional sweetness from the soda
If only i had the patients to make this
Lol it’s quite a process
Hey Rahul, is there anyway I can replace the whey protein with a substitute? my lactose intolerance extends to whey protein unfortunately.
Coconut flour, powdered peanut butter, and/or more regular flour will work great!
😍 brownie cheesecake u say??
You know it!!
Made this. Idk why by my cheesecake filling wasn’t as thick as yours, it was more creamy. It still came out tasting delicious tho, felt like I was cheating on my calories man 😂
So glad you enjoyed!! Maybe bake it a bit longer or let it cool in the fridge longer, that should thicken it up!
Congrats
Thank you :)
"Cherry Vanilla Coca Cola"
Ah, I see, Rahul is also a man of culture.
The best soda flav ✊
pepsi Max is my favorite. and you made the right choice. i love those orange chocolate balls that you have to smack to break a part..
I don’t think I’ve ever had pepsi max. I’ve only had regular diet pepsi and mango pepsi. Gotta try it out!
@@RahulKamat the pepsi Zero with mango is just Max with mango.
Zero used to be called Max. I still call it max.
It has more caffeine than regular diet Pepsi
Can you use egg white instead of 1 egg yolk for cheesecake filling? or what can i use instead and how much is 4 egg white in gram
You can probably leave out the yolk, I use it for a bit of added richness. Try to not use carton egg whites though because they’re pasteurized and won’t whip up well
Dude, after watching your Brownie video, I tried it with A&W zero sugar. If you can find some, definitely give this a try.
I don’t think I’ve ever had A&W soda, I’ll try to find some. Thanks for the rec!
@@RahulKamat Oh man, you're in for a treat!! Assuming you like root beer of course.
Love root beer, need to find some A&W ASAP!
Coca Cola is my favorite soda. I am old school. I usually throw away part of my small size drink. I try to be low carb.
Coke zero is a solid soda. Prob the one I have the most rn
Wish I had the dedication to actually prepare stuff with a recipe. I just wing everything.
You can wing this!
I am not elite. I sadly cannot eat erythritol :( Not without significant and immediate upset. Love this recipe though. Going to have to try it with some other sweetener alternative.
Oh no, it just doesn’t sit well with some people. Hopefully another sweetener works similarly, let me know it you get a chance to try this recipe!
Just made this, and it was delicious. Filling and impressive macros. However in my experience you really don't need any other extract besides the vanilla. I did notice cracking in the brownie base and cheesecake though. How do you fix this? Thanks.
You definitely don’t, I love using just vanilla extract! My cheesecake cracks too, I think leaving it in the oven to cool with the heat off/door closed is supposed to help bc it cools slowly. You could also make a frosting with pudding mix + greek yogurt to cover up any cracks!
@@RahulKamat That makes sense, and frosting is a great idea! Keep making these videos, your recipes are really incredible.
Have you ever tried baking it with water bath to prevent from crackling the top?
I haven’t, that might help!
recipe idea: pizza crust? ik remington has some but maybe there’s a way out there to get a large size crust with less flour to save on calories 👀
Just filmed a pizza recipe video. About 2 years ago I was eating pizza everyday and tweaked this recipe a bunch to get the perfect ratios. Definitely 100+ pizzas consumed but this recipe is low cal and hits hard! Vid coming soon 🤫
@@RahulKamat goated rahul 🔥
I got you ✊
So I made this exactly how u did , takes time first cook brownie then cool 3 hours total then make the cheesecake filling bake then wait over night ? After all said and done my brownie was wet but the cheese cake was insane .
I will make again just omit the crust
So glad you enjoyed the cheesecake! Maybe use less diet soda (~80g instead of 120g) in the brownie crust? Not sure why it would be wet since it bakes for so long
@@RahulKamat I just didn’t put a yoke in, was not needed, again u do t need the brownie crust thanks!
Bro where do you find these amazing flavors of diet soda as I never find the unique flavors in the diet variants?
Shoprite or Walmart here in the US northeast
can i use box egg whites for this recipe and if so about how much?
Yes you can. It may not work as well because they don’t whip up as much. For the substitution:
30g carton egg whites = 1 egg white
You can use an empty soda bottle or water bottle to suck the yolks away from the egg whites, usually without breaking them!
Thanks for the tip!
I'm so mad Walmart delivery substituted my fat free cream cheese with regular cream cheese. I've made Remington James cheese cake. Was okay but wasn't sweet enough. Batter was better than cooked.. I'm going to make yours soon. Maybe with Dr pepper zero. Definitely not Sunkist zero haha. And curious about the point you made on the protein powder. I do feel it has enough. But I'm not on the anabolic diet for muscle just high volume filling meals. This is way lower in calories than RJ for sure
This is one of the most filling and tasty desserts I’ve ever had so I think you’ll love this one! And hahaha I’ve had grocery delivery substitute my pumpkin puree for pumpkin pie filling, which has sat in my cabinet for a year now
Is it ok if I replace greek yogurt with regular yogurt?
Yup that’s fine! Just make sure it’s thick and not watery yogurt
Does collagen firm up things as gelatin?
I think so but I think gelatin firms things up more? Not sure tbh
Good video. I wonder how necessary the whole egg is since you are using Greek yogurt. I substitute 64g of Greek yogurt for each whole egg in my baking recipes to save on calories.
I’ve made this without the egg yolk and it still tastes great, but I noticed the egg yolk adds a bit more richness and improves the taste. Def can exclude the egg yolk to save on cals though
@@RahulKamat makes sense. I think I'm going to give this a shot.
Let me know how it turns out!
do you know if I can use soy yogurt instead of greek yogurt?
I haven’t tried soy yog but if it’s thick and not watery, it should work!
@@RahulKamat alright thank you!
At what temp did you put the crust in the oven? Didn’t say:(
350 deg F
What size springform pan? Thx
9 inches
🥵🔥
✊
How big is the spring form pan?
9 inches
Nice! Just curious on the calorie count!
In the vid!
I'm having family over in 6 hrs is that enough time to leave the cheesecake in the fridge 🤔? Or does it have to be overnight?
I think 6 hours is enough!
what size pan are you using?
9 inch pan
Not sure what I did wrong but my batter just wouldn't thicken :(
Hi Rahul, great video you've got a new subscriber here!, I can't find fat free cream cheese where I am, is it possible to make this with fat free creamed cottage cheese instead? Thanks in advance! :D
Not sure because I’ve never tried this with cottage cheese, it might work if you blend the cottage cheese to a creamy consistency. If you can find light cream cheese, that works well!
@@RahulKamat thanks for the reply, sadly light cream cheese isnt very light here either, only 25% reduced fat, i found skim quark cheese i might give that a go!!, keep up with the good content! :)
Thanks so much!! Enjoy the cheesecake :)
can you write out the macros in the desc?
Entire Cheesecake: 675 cals // 79g protein // 76g carbs // 8g fat
awesome macros, but a lot of steps! damn
Yup, this one takes some time
Question - noticed you're baking the brownie base first and THEN baking it again when you bake the cheesecake - do you find it makes the base really overcooked?
Also - I've made a Brotein Cheesecake like this before, but this time I'd like to try also adding a layer of sugarfree mango jello on the top, then letting it set so it's solid. Wondering if I should try pouring over the jello BEFORE I put the cheesecake in the fridge overnight [after the cheesecake is already baked and cooled], or whether I should try pouring it over the morning after, then putting it back into the fridge...
The base becomes dryer and turns into a crust consistency which I really like. I think pouring the jello after the cheesecake is baked and cooked should work!
I don't have whey protein, do I have to use i??
No you don’t, you can make any crust/base you want and use it for this cheesecake
@@RahulKamat sorry, my question was do i have to use protein powder for this recipe; can i use an alternative instead?
can you give is the macros ?
I say it in the vid
Cherry pepsy
Cherry vanilla coke is the goat
Doesn't the brownie base get way to dry and brittle if you bake it twice? You're basically baking it for twice as long as recommended
It does and that’s what makes it so great! It gets dryer and turns into a crust consistency
@@RahulKamat ok great ty
