2. Make the Filling:
   • Beat cream cheese until smooth.
   • Add Greek yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
   • Add milk gradually until desired creamy consistency is reached.
3. Assemble & Chill:

Tips

• For extra protein, fold in a few tablespoons of Greek yogurt protein powder.
• Use a springform pan for easier slicing.
• Let it chill overnight for the best “cheesecake” texture.
