When it comes to cake, I've truly never been a fan of traditional cake. But I do LOVE cheesecake. Here is a delicious twist on cheesecake using MPB SNACK Cookie Bites as the crumb crust using coconut oil instead of melted butter. We used protein and fat free cream cheese with nonfat greek yogurt. Once you try this, you will see how amazing this recipe, you will see how it truly still has the amazing taste of cheesecake with an even better crust flavored as the MPB SNACKS Cookie Bites of your choice!
This is a great treat that is low calorie, gluten free, and "macro friendly" to help curb your sweet tooth cravings while adhering to your dieting and fitness goals!

- Beat with immersion blender or mixer until completely smooth and creamy.
- Scoop the protein cheesecake filling into the cupcake cavities on top of the cookie crumb crust and smooth the top with spoon.
