My dude eats the cheese cake from an upside down dish with an icecream scoop. Loving the eating mechanics innovations. Can't wait to see what's in the next video.
Def will be trying out this cake! Without waterbed since my oven is small. Loving all the recipes, Josh. They really help me eat good tasting stuff without wanting extremely unhealthy shit.
Thank you for your support 😎
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9 NIV
ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame”
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.””
Luke 19:10
God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless you all! 😊❤️
Same, I have a microwave oven. No way I can fit anything even remotely big in there.
@@TheMealPrepManualI had to subscribe 🤤
Hahahaha, this is for sure the cooking channel I always needed. Vegetables suck, drops phone on cake, eats with a cookie scooper. Laughs in every video. Thanks for what you do man.
Thank you for your support 😎
I used fat free cottage cheese instead of greek yogurt. It turned out better imo. And i also baked it at 325 for 35 min then 200 for 50 minutes. Make the cheesecake more cooked throughout
Thank you so much! I tried this and it worked out great!
So, does it actually taste good being so low inc callories?
@@daano465 Imo it definitely does. It actually does taste pretty good
The funny thing is the fat is what's ok for you, it's all the sugar that's going to screw you.
@@ruddthreetrees1104 even eating this as a desert after a solid meal of protein, healthy fats and vegetable? Being obese over the long term is much worse for you than eating sugar on occasion, especially if you aren't doing so on an empty stomach.
The amount of chaos in this video. 1. Watching the cheesecake tilt as you hold it. 2. Eating it with a melon baller. 3. putting a piece on an upside down glass dish. 4. dropping the phone in the cheesecake. I loved every minute of this.
Thank you for point out all the pointless steps I don’t NEED to do but that you need to add for the snobs, much appreciated.

This is just kinda rude. The link to it is right there, why rob him of the web traffic after all the work he went through to put this out for free?
@@grythm +1 its all about the traffic
Thank you
so much carbs. such a shitty recipe
@@dutchvanderlinde426 you got a plan Dutch
I made your cheesecake into cupcake pans and made mini cheesecakes that you can freeze and take out the night before or the morning of and just snack away. Love it!
I don’t diet like you, but I do deal with overeating. Having low-calorie craving-satisfying food around is so helpful. Thanks for sharing!
@Josh Cortis I had to come back here to tell you how much I have been loving this recipe! Lately I have been skipping the crust as it's super delicious on its own. Greek yogurt, eggs, pudding mix, and a dash of vanilla extract. As for the topping, sometimes I do a little low sugar jam, or a blueberry sauce. It's pretty good by itself too. I struggle to eat enough protein and this really helps. My husband and neighbor love your mac and cheese too. Awesome channel!
Thank you, great recipe and content. I love how you didn't acknowledge the little accident with your camera phone. You just kept going. Thank you for that!
You have no idea how much I needed this. Sugar…damn sugar…trying to cut or even bulk while suppressing sugar cravings is tough especially when beautiful picture perfect deserts are on social media and on every street corner. I find that substituting, fruits, flavor enhanced drinks, etc. is good for mimicking but finally being able to indulge from time to time is much appreciated🍩🍰🍡
there is still quite a bit of sugar here from the starches
@@Tatusiek_1 stop being sugar phobic, a little desert here or there wont hurt your gains if your not putting in half assed effort or have shit metabolism.
@@amartinez97 Instead of worrying about me being sugar phobic, how about people stop being lipophobic like the guy in this video.
@@Tatusiek_1 its not lipophobic, its calorie phobic, unless youve seen other videos of his and have it out for him, in this video its clear he wants a low calorie dessert to keep cutting, not necessarily a low fat dessert, of course they tend to go hand in hand considering the calorie amounts in fat.
@@Tatusiek_1 I used to think like you but then I started bodybuilding. I never understood why bodybuilders prioritize carbs over fats. It pissed me off at first because I had just come off a keto diet. But then I realized. When you're cutting for a show, it matters more about volume and having energy in the gym to preserve muscle in a deficit. Plus I would rather eat an entire bowl of cream of wheat than have a tiny slice of butter, for example. More filling. But I realize most people don't live this lifestyle lol.
Congratulations man, you were the first person that bought me with a decent macro friendly cheesecake. Got yourself a new subscriber
THANK YOU for emphasizing that this cheesecake won’t 1:1 replicate the taste of a normal cheesecake. I don’t remember how many times I’ve tried making recipes that say they taste “just like ice cream” or “just like a cookie” and end up tasting like a bland milk sorbet or cliff bar.
4:53 struggles of an influencer 😂
I’m not even cutting or trying to eat healthy but I just really enjoy these videos for some reason.
New subbie because he is to the point, doesn't give 2 Fs, funny, and giving great content that any of us can try. I just updated my shopping list.
Don’t let the haters get to you man; your content is very well put together. Clean, well edited, clear instructions - can’t beat it! Great recipes.
He gets "haters" because he cooks stuff and calls it names when they're not that. Best proof is this, this is not cheesecake, not even close
@@xPandamon fatty detected
@@xPandamon 🤦♀️
I LOVE that somebody is cooking and demonstrating sweets and substitutes for all the food we health nuts crave but honestly have to curb in a healthy lifestyle. Your snack philosophy is so what I’m all about and I’m a vegetarian (for health reasons which I won’t elaborate) That said, yes please make those vegetables yummy, yes please make a cheesecake substitute with good macros and yummy recipes with the macros in mind. Thank goodness! You rock, your amusing. Thanks.. I’m attempting to make all your stuff.
I made this yesterday and instead of using light plain Greek yogurt, I used light vanilla Greek yogurt. The consistancy of the vanilla is not as thick as the plain and it showed up in the cheesecake. It is more like cheese cake pudding! The slices fall apart. But, it is delicious!
I just made this yesterday and it’s so good omg! 😁 it almost has a lemon hint to it, so good!
Not only drops the phone into the cake but invents a whole new way of eating, got to respect the man.
"... plus, the Cheesecake Factors is for people in loveless marriages." The accuracy of that statement.
If that's what the cheesecake factory is for, who is this no joy "cheesecake" for? Singles with severe depression?
😂😂😂 I too burst out laughing while watching this video by myself on the living room when you dropped the phone! 😂😂😂
Great video!!
I’m a minute in to this video, and I’m already loving it. Thank you for all the recipes, they’re always amazing.
I rarely subscribe to TH-cam channels, and when I saw the creative ingredients you used to construct this, I instantly subscribed.
This looks amazing. Thank you, will definitely try!
How did it go?
have you tried whipping the egg whites into meringue and folding them in separately? I've done that for other cheesecakes and it fluffs them up in a nice way.
I’ve heard that egg whites from the carton don’t whip up the same and egg whites separated from whole eggs
I will try this
@@jenniferrosenthal7731 that's true. For recipes like this, I just use less of the carton egg whites and add in some real egg whites and whip them separately and fold in. Helps with $$$ at the grocery store but you still get a nice fluffy end result. I do it with my protein pancakes.
@@criskp6861 did you end up trying it?
The level of snark just keeps going up. Lovin' it!
Dude you are a legend ! Cheesecake is the only thing I fk my diet for and u just made it a bit more healthy
OMG! Side from loving this channel and recipe, i love the part where you dropped the phone on your masterpiece! I can’t stop laughing 😂 Thank you for leaving that blooper in! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
That phone drop got me GOOD, thanks for the unexpected big laugh. Legit funnier than most comedy vids I’ve watched. Subbing
I love when you put measurements in grams/millilitres as well
Bro you just made my favorite dessert into a healthy snack, thank you :)
The phone falling on the cake would happen to me. 😂 I laughed so hard
Always look forward to seeing what weird way you’ll eat your creation.
My favorite part of these videos is the constant stream of troll coming at your face... keep up the good work my dude... we need more people like you.
Bought 5lb vanilla whey isolate and 5lb vanilla casein. I plan on eating a lot of cheesecakes and pancakes. Baked my first 2 cheesecakes today. Delicious! I also made the pancakes. I used banana creme light Greek yogurt instead of plain for the pancakes. I used up all my plain on the cheesecakes. Delicious!
Hey, is there a reason you use vanilla instead of cheesecake flavored pudding? I know it’s harder to find, partly because I’ve stocked up so much of the sf/ff kind for protein fluff lol. My boyfriend and I love your baked oatmeal recipes, and I can’t wait to give this a try, too!
Could you give us the protein fluff recipe? I have some cheesecake powder that I would like to try it
Tried it with the cheesecake flavored pudding this week, turned out great
@@maxsnew they even have sugar free Cheesecake....
@@neolithic3 sure! It’s a half cup of Greek yogurt mixed with a scoop of protein powder and a tablespoon of ff/sf pudding mix- chocolate, vanilla, cheesecake, banana, whatever! Some folks might want to add a sweetener of choice, but I usually just mush up some fruit and call it a day.
That’s a snack/light breakfast size but if you want more you could just scale up.
@@dsdeamal thanks I will give it a try!
Hell yeah I am about to make these this weekend so glad I just stumbled onto this channel
I couldn't stop laughing after you dropped your phone on the damn cheesecake
I’m glad my suffering brings you joy
@@TheMealPrepManual it’s the failures that keep us going man. Cheers for making such a gem!
If you want a really good version of a healthier cheesecake, substitute the majority of your cream cheese and sour cream with blended up dry curd cottage cheese and greek yogurt. Could probably play around with the crust too.
Has a very very similar texture to cheesecake, just a bit lighter and more spongey almost.
The best way I've used anyways. Tastes very very similar to a traditional bake cheesecake
4:53 holy shit! that was hilarious! I thought you did that on purpose to troll the viewers. Then I reversed the playback and read your text. Completely unexpected. Best part of the vid by far.
I made this with 2% fat fage yogurt and added a couple crushed graham crackers and some almond flour to the crust. And a splash of vanilla to the filling. Very good!
Glad you enjoyed it 😎
I love you so much for this bro, you will always be in my prayers. i had to cut out cheesecake saturdays cause of my diet but not anymore ❤️❤️❤️❤️
04:53 the cellphone wanted a bite of that cheesecake so badly.
Say cheese!!! Cheesecaaaaakeeee!!! 📸
I threw this together in record time and was sloppy as hell and just used a premade crust. As was suggested in the comments, I used cheesecake pudding mix instead of vanilla. Even with all the corner cutting, it turned out pretty well and I ended up having a pretty big slice. I'll definitely revisit although I will try to make it sweeter.
Love that he did the water bath just so he could say, here's your water bath 😂 honestly he's kinda giving off grumpy old man vibes. I'm picturing him yelling at me to get off his lawn.
This is exactly what I needed today. Thank you so much, sir!
Your channel is growing rapidly and you deserve it!
Considering that one slice of cheesecake factory cheesecake runs about 900 to 1500 calories, you set an incredibly low bar.
We getting ripped at the gym after this one 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
You had me in the first 7 seconds! I never like videos so fast! 😭
I use almond flour and desicated coconut for cheese cake crust and the flavor is great.
@anherb I half almond flour, half coconut, then add butter and a small dusting of flour just to make it come together and press into the bottom of the pan.
You've saved me from getting bored of eating well man. Thank you so much
I bet this would be killer with the Jello sugar free cheesecake or sf lemon pudding mix as well! Thanks for the recipe!
Low calorie recipes are the future!
Id rather use fat free cream cheese than to use Greek yogurt, has a better texture and consistency, also adds flavor
Yeah Greek yogurt is wrong
Gonna try it with allulose. Can't stand Splenda for some reason. On a cut right now for bodybuilding so this is great! Thank you for the recipe!
The ice cream scoop is a nice touch
That phone drop was amazing... Laughed so hard..
You know the cheesecake is good when the dude doesn't wanna wait 10 more minutes to eat it, amazing.
complains about not wanting to do weird cheesecake shit
-starts eating with an ice cream scoop-
Finally a cheesecake recipe without fat free cream cheese, I don’t think it exists anymore
It’s impossible to find
I thought it was just my local stores but i have never been able to find it anywhere
This is the best cheese cake recipe i have ever tried. Well done
Thanks for the recipe! When I try out the recipe I'll change the topping to a thin fruit+gelatine mix layer.
You’re hilarious, jokes and attitude on point 👌
I can imagine it would taste different, but it also looks TASTY as hell and I’m DEFINITELY gonna try this lol
I LOVE strawberry cheesecake. I'm currently on my journey to lose weight so having a recipe to satisfy my cravings is monumental help. Currently 270 from 300 lbs.
I swear to god you make a mistake in every video and it’s my favorite part.
Love your content my man
You dropping the phone in the whip cream made me spit out my coffee. Thank you. Looks really good.
Call it a protein pie
Brilliant. Thanks for cheering me up. Did you wash your phone, or lick it clean?
This looks hella tasty! Def. gonna need to make this.
The ice cream scoop... *chef's kiss*
Eating with an ice cream scoop 😄
So cool 👍😁
i cant have been the only ones who's jaw dropped when he stared eating it with an ice cream scoop
Wonder if it'd be possible to make a calorie friendly and protein rich biscuits so you'd actually have a proper cheesecake base.
With chickpeas homemade yogurt (yes, lots more work and 1day more of wait time) you could just cook it longer to get the thick consistensy without the pudding mix. This would be half way between the yogurt and making tofu. That said, I would likely blend a bit of cheese in the yogurt for cheese flavor. It's something I miss when the recipe doesn't use cream cheese.
I panicked when I saw you drop your phone 🤣
I have 30 savory teeth and 2 cheesecake teeth😂
This man has transcended forks. What is this sorcery!?
I'll make this for my birthday and eat it alone XD
Looks amazing! Wondering if the pudding mix is the instant type or the cook type? Can't wait to make it!
I really appreciate these videos man
glad you like them!!
Nice pic
Thank you and God bless
Didn't try it, but looks absolutely delicious! Good job man!
It is silly to try to make strips of aluminum waterproof. Here's the secret: extra wide/heavy duty foil, and it doesn't have to be doubled up.
You savage. Why are you using an ice cream scoop as a fork? You're making me want to eat ice cream with a fork to restore the balance of the universe.
I just put mine in the oven and I can't wait. Cheesecake is by far my favorite dessert and I'm a low calorie/high protein fake dessert connesiour, so this will be just as good as the cheesecake factory for me. I used Dannon lite and fit Strawberry cheesecake yogurt and cinnamon toast crunch protein powder for the crust and I also used unsweetened apple sauce with cinnamon. My only complaint with this recipe is why is it so boring with all the options of different yogurts, protein powders etc you chose to use vanilla protein and unflavored yogurt. I also used a mixture of sugar free cheese cake and white chocolate pudding mix.
He probably kept it simple because not everyone has access to the kind of ingredients you listed! But I bet it tasted great with the substitutions you made.
@@noenergybunny true but he didn't even mention that in the video. He should have at least told people that they could experiment with the different flavors.
I've made 3 of these cheesecakes so far and it truly is an amazing recipe. The last time I made it, I put 300g of frozen strawberries in the mixture and it turned out amazing but it didn't hold up for as long as the others did. After a couple days it got really watery and started to fall apart.
@@ibleedoranbla I think it's kind of obvious that people can experiment with different flavors-- cooking is not just about following a recipe, but finding out the best modifications for your own taste preference. A different flavor of the same type of yogurt would not affect the finished product's texture or taste in an unexpected way
@@cameronschyuder9034 An alarming number of people won't think to experiment much when cooking, until they get very comfortable... It's very worth it to point it out imo.
I've been watching these videos for about a month and I'm truly thankful I found your channel.
I don’t know why I haven’t subscribed sooner, I like almost every video you post, thanks for the recipes!
Looks great and I love your commentary!
Def want to eat the cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory
😂😂😂
Thanks.
This is one angry chef. I'm definitely subscribing 😂
gotta love the genuine energy from josh's videos, good shit bro
Loving this channel. Upto yet I've made the double chocolate oats brownie (great for when out cycling) and yesterday I made this cheesecake...
Next I think it's the strawberry oats bake.
Definitely trying this.
😂😂 You eating with the ice cream scooper is hilarious.
Can I sub pudding mix with cream cheese is so would it still be 28grams?
For those of you on a budget, don't buy new Pyrex glass pans. They were about 25 dollars each on Amazon, I got 3 pans for 15 dollars at my local thrift store.
