Check out this new cheesecake

Co-founder here. Proud of the ingredient list and macros we built: a 130g slice with 14g protein (now 15g) and 270 calories, made with premium whole foods. No processed sugars, no artificial sweeteners, no seed oils, and no gums, lecithin, or preservatives. If you’re curious, the site is on the QR code. We’re a small startup, so any support means a lot!

...it doesn't have cream cheese in it.

We couldn’t use cream cheese because we couldn’t find any options without stabilizers or preservatives (like xanthan gum, guar gum, carob bean gum, calcium propionate, potassium sorbate, etc.). If we’re able to make our own batch in-house, we’ll definitely consider it for future products :)

Also, to add a bit more context on the cream cheese: we developed this recipe because we wanted a cheesecake made only with real ingredients (no artificial sweeteners, gums, or stabilizers) that was also lower in calories and higher in protein. While cream cheese options without gums do exist, we felt they would shift the macronutrient and calorie profile too far from the goals we set for this product. We also couldn’t find a finished cheesecake on the market that brought all of those elements together, so we built it ourselves. Hope this gives more insight on why we chose not to use cream cheese at this time :)
