High-Protein Cheesecake (super easy to make!)

I got this recipe from an exciting new book I'm reading called, "The New Rules of Lifting for Women." I wasn't a huge fan of this recipe, but Justin absolutely loved it. We might try adding chocolate chips, or using chocolate protein powder, or maybe adding some reduced fat cream cheese next time!

Serves 6

Ingredients:

2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese

2 medium eggs

1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream

1/2 cup vanilla whey-protein powder

1/4 cup granulated splenda or stevia

Grated rind and juice of 1 fresh lemon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Put all ingredients in a blender and process until very smooth. Spray 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Place pan on top rack of oven and place a flat pan of water on the bottom rack. Bake 30 to 40 minutes. Chill well before serving.
