Store in the freezer until ready for use.

Add mixture to a saucepan set to medium heat. Stir constantly for about 5 minutes until the mix starts to firm.

Then carefully place in the fridge to set. Let the cheesecake sit for 4-6 hours.
Once it has hardened remove from the pan or spring form and smooth over the edges .

Pro Tip:

*You can also add some homemade vegan whipped cream topping. Recipe found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIEBfJAI2Mw&t=26s&ab_channel=VeganAlohaKitchenVeganAlohaKitchen

*Use refined coconut oil to remove the coconut taste.

*The pea protein can be subbed for any protein powder. I prefer this Naked brand it is tasteless making it perfect to add to any dish.

*Run a large, sharp knife under hot water, wipe dry with a clean towel, and then slice. Repeat with each slice for very clean cut pieces of cheesecake.
