Peanut Butter Cup Bottom Cheesecake

QUESTion!

What's better than cheesecake? A Cheesecake with a Quest Peanut Butter Cup Bottom!

Recipe:

Step 1: Add the following to a large bowl and mix with an electric hand mixer for 2 minutes:

• 1 package of Jell-O Sugar Free Cheesecake Instant Pudding & Pie Filling
• 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or unsweetened cashew milk)

Step 2: Cottage Cheese is optional!

• I added 4 TBSP of low fat cottage cheese and mixed it into the pudding with the electric hand mixer. The reasons are twofold:
  • Because the cheesecake filling was TOO SWEET for me! Made my head shake!
  • Because cottage cheese has casein protein. Casein protein is a slow-releasing protein, making it a perfect protein choice for an intermittent faster's last meal during his/her eating window.

Step 3: Dissect the Peanut Butter Cups

• Use a fork to scoop out the insides of 2 Quest Peanut Butter Cups (see photo). It creates mini bowls!
• Place half of the "scoopings" into the cheesecake pudding. Save the other half for the topping.
• Place the PB Cups into muffin paper cups in a muffin tray
• Scoop the pudding mixture on top of each PB cup (Use 1/4 of the pudding per PB cup). See Photo.
• Place the PB cup shavings on top of each cheesecake for decoration. Then place the muffin tray in the freezer for about 1 hour and 40 minutes. I had no issues removing the paper liner... it came off like a prom dress!
• Place the other half of the pudding mixture into the fridge. Save it for another recipe or eat it later! You could add it to a shake or an ice cream recipe!
