Ingredients
- 1 pack digestive biscuits
3 tbsp. coconut oil (melted) - 600g cottage cheese
- 150g low-fat cream cheese
1 scoop Impact Whey Protein (Vanilla) - Vanilla Flavdrops
- 150ml water
1 scoop Clear Whey Isolate (Vimto) - 1 gelatine sachet
- 50ml hot water
- Fresh berries to garnish
Method
- First, add the biscuits and coconut oil to a food processor and blitz until you have a fine crumb mixture. Pour out into a tin and pat down into a smooth layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon. Leave to chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
- Meanwhile, add the cottage cheese, cream cheese, vanilla protein, and 5-6 drops of vanilla Flavdrops to a large bowl and mix well. Spoon out this cheesecake filling on top of the biscuit base, smooth into an even layer, and chill for 2 hours.
To make the final Vimto jelly layer, add 150ml water and a scoop of Vimto Clear Whey Isolate to a shaker and shake until fully combined. Leave for a few minutes to allow the bubbles to go down. - Meanwhile, mix together the gelatine and hot water, then carefully add this gelatine liquid to the shaker with the Vimto Clear Whey and shake well.
- Carefully pour out the Vimto jelly liquid on top of the cheesecake and allow to set in the fridge for 2 hours.
- Garnish with fresh berries, slice up, and dig in!
