Packed with wholesome ingredients and a secret protein boost, this recipe is ideal for anyone looking to enjoy a guilt-free treat. Let’s dive into the details!
Ingredients
Crust:
-
1 1/2 cups crumbled oat crackers or graham crackers
-
1/3 cup coconut sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
-
1/3 cup coconut oil
Filling:
-
16 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
-
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
-
1 cup coconut sugar
-
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
-
2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
-
1/2 envelope (5g) gelatin powder + 3 tablespoons water
-
Optional: 1 scoop Granite Supplements protein powder for an extra nutritional boost
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
-
In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled oat crackers or graham crackers, coconut sugar, and pumpkin spice.
-
Add melted coconut oil to the mixture and stir until the crumbs are evenly coated.
-
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use a spoon or the bottom of a glass to pack it down tightly.
-
Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Make the Filling
-
In a small bowl, mix the gelatin powder with 3 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom, then heat gently until fully dissolved.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
-
Add the pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin spice. Mix until well combined.
-
Slowly add the dissolved gelatin mixture while continuing to mix. For an extra protein punch, add a scoop of Granite Supplements protein powder and mix thoroughly.
Step 3: Assemble and Chill
-
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
-
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
-
Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
-
Slice into servings and enjoy this creamy, protein-packed dessert!
Why This Recipe Stands Out
This No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake is a perfect blend of indulgence and nutrition. With a crumbly, spiced crust and a creamy pumpkin filling, it’s a crowd-pleaser for any occasion. The addition of Granite Supplements protein powder not only enhances the nutritional value but also supports your fitness goals, making it a dessert you can feel good about.
Pro Tip:
Top your cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of pumpkin spice, or a drizzle of maple syrup for an extra festive touch!
