Ingredients

    8 oz Cream Cheese
    3.5 serving Jello Sugar Free Lemon Gelatin - .3 oz package (by TRISH2007)
    8 fl oz Heavy Whipping Cream
    0.5 cup (8 fl oz) Water, tap
    8 serving Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour - per 1/4 Cup
    0.75 serving muscle milk whey protein vanilla
    1 stick Butter, salted

Tips

Carb counts vary depending on the whey protein powder used. I selected one closely resembling the one I made it with. About 3/4 scoop is what you will need for this recipe of any protein powder.


Directions

Mix whey, almond flour, and butter. Bake at 350*F until completely golden (about 25-30mins) in an increased glass pan. Room temp cheese, beaten until fluffy. Beat the heavy cream while the water is boiling. Mix water and jello together, slowly incorporate into the cream cheese. Fold in the heavy cream. Put the entire mixture into the cooled pie shell and refrigerate about 1-2 hours or until firm and enjoy!
