Low-Calorie High-Protein Burnt Basque Cheesecake

Ingredients

• 150 g Greek yogurt (high-protein variety recommended)
• 1 egg (large)
• 0.5 tbsp vanilla extract
• 0.5 tbsp lemon juice
• 30 g stevia (add more if you prefer it sweeter; note that concentration varies by brand)
• 15 g cornstarch

Steps

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, stevia, and cornstarch.

2. 2

   Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well combined.

3. 3

   Line a ramekin with baking paper (parchment paper) and pour the batter into it.

4. 4

   Place the ramekin in the air fryer. Use the 'bake' setting and cook at 210°C (410°F) for 12–15 minutes, or until the top is nicely burnt and caramelized.

5. 5

   Remove from the air fryer and let it cool completely at room temperature.

6. 6

   Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly before serving.

Notes

Be careful with the amount of stevia used, as different brands have different concentrations; 30g of a highly concentrated stevia may be too much. You can substitute stevia with monk fruit or allulose. Ensure the cheesecake is fully chilled before eating for the best texture.
