Crust:

  3. Coat an 8×8 pan in coconut oil.
  4. To make the crust, mix almond meal, flax, whey protein, PB2 and liquid stevia.
  5. Drizzle in the melted coconut oil and stir until its all combined.
  6. Press the peanut butter crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the 8×8 square pan. Pack firmly.
  7. Pour the cheesecake filling and spread it around so its even.
  8. Place in the oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes.
  9. When it’s done, it will just start to go golden around the edges, and it will jiggle slightly in the middle when you shake it side to side.
  10. Allow to cool completely and store in fridge to chill completely for 1-2 hours before storing.
  11. Keep stored in the fridge with tin foil over top of the pan.
