Making this berry cheesecake only required a blender and a freezer. Pretty standard stuff if you ask me. What you get out of it is an insanely tasty treat that is perfect for Valentine’s.
The ways that I use Vital Proteins Mixed Berry are in desserts like this layered Paleo berry cheesecake, in my coffee, in smoothies, in homemade jelly and jam and in baked goods. The options are endless, and once you see the benefits from collagen you won’t go back to a life before it.
I love this Paleo berry cheesecake with the berry types I used, but I know it would be delicious with other kinds such as strawberries. Get creative if you want and mix things up!

Hi Bailey,
Do I have to have the Vital Protein ingredient? I’d like to make this, but being a full time nursing student doesn’t leave room for an “extra item” on my grocery list. So…..can this be made without it?
paleobailey says
Hi! Absolutely it can be! Enjoy! <3
Cheri says
does this need to be kept frozen or will it hold it’s shape in the refrigerator once it has been frozen?
paleobailey says
It needs to be kept frozen. I have left it in the fridge for a few hours while serving until I got around to putting it away, and it still kept it’s shape well, but if you want it to be good for up to a week, freezer is best 🙂
