I’ve been eating 3 meals a day, with one protein dessert or snack in the afternoon. I love this meal schedule because eating tasty treats like this, that has protein in it, makes it so I never feel deprived!! So satisfying!
So, this past weekend, I wanted to make a protein treat that was creamy and delicious. While I have other cheesecake recipes (like this chocolate chip cheesecake, and the popular Body for Life cheesecake), I wanted something QUICK and SIMPLE! A protein no-bake cheesecake was just the thing I needed.
I used the sugar free pie filling from the store (I’ve found apple and cherry in the sugar free options), and it’s only 30 calories per serving or 1/3 cup! I’ve only used it in this overnight oats. I’m not sure why I haven’t made more recipes with it though, because it’s SO good!
How to make protein cheesecake
Usually, when I make a treat, it’s pretty easy to just mix in some protein powder, and you have the perfect dessert! I do this a lot. If I’m worried that a recipe won’t turn out, I will start with 1 tablespoon of protein powder, rather than a whole scoop.
This works great every time! Sometimes I’ll stop at 1/2 scoop, other times I progress to a full scoop. Either way, just half a scoop still gives you almost 10 extra grams of protein.
So check out this recipe for no-bake protein cheesecake, and let me know what you think! You can find the sugar free cherry pie filling here, or the apple pie filling here.
Here’s my apple pie version!

This was actually really good and the macros are great! The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because the pie filling I got was not my preferred brand – but that’s my issue. We routinely eat high protein puddings in my house and this is a unique twist that adds variety to our lineup. Thank you for sharing.
