Instructions:
1. Place the heavy cream in a large mixing bowl with the protein
powder and stevia. Whisk until smooth.
2. Add the cream cheese, macadamia nuts (or almonds), caramel
syrup, and vanilla extract, then blend until smooth. If the cream
cheese clumps slightly, mix with a rubber spatula, breaking up the
bits of cream cheese against the side of the bowl.
3. Sprinkle the mixture with the xanthan gum and mix again, about 30
seconds, the mixture will thicken slightly.
4. Cover a tray that fits in your freezer with a sheet of wax paper.
Using a soup spoon, spoon out the mixture onto the tray.
5. Alternatively, coat a silicon candy mold or empty ice cube tray with
olive oil spray and press the tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture
into the molds. Sprinkle with sea salt and freeze at least one hour
before serving. Store in the freezer for up to 1 month.
