Frozen Yogurt Blueberry Cheesecake

     Quest gave me the inspiration to create a Blueberry Cheesecake with their Blueberry Cobbler Hero Bar,... thanks guys!  Each of these 8 hearty pieces are 332 calories, 10g net carbs and 24g protein.  Whether you have this for breakfast, dessert or just a healthy snack it's all good man...I think the macros can support any time of day.  So try this fun little experiment the next time you are hankering for fruit filled fare!  :)

Ingredients for 8 large pieces~
5 Quest Hero Blueberry Cobbler Protein Bars
2oz (1/3 cup, 66) Almonds
Rounded 1/2 cup (3oz) Blueberries
1 1/2 cup Swerve Granular Erythritol
Dash Cinnamon
Heavy Dash Vanilla
14oz net weight Extra Firm Tofu
8oz reduced fat Cream Cheese, room temperature
8oz Light Sour Cream
7oz 2% Fage Greek Yogurt
1-4 Tablespoons Lemon Juice, if desired

     VERY CAREFULLY shave that Blueberry goo with the White Chocolate coating from each of the Hero Bars, set aside.  Add Almonds to food processor til powdered (be careful not to process to butter), then add the 5 protein bar portions of the Hero Bar til fully incorporated and crumbly.  Press into the bottom of Spring Form pan.  Meanwhile, add the 5 Goo toppings to saucepan along with Blueberries, 1/2 cup Erythritol, Cinnamon and Vanilla til melted together and thickening, smashing as many Blueberries as possible, set in fridge to cool for 10 minutes.  Finish up by add Tofu, Cream Cheese, Sour Cream, Yogurt, Lemon Juice if desired, and last cup Erythritol to cleaned food processor and whip til smooth and creamy.  Pour on top of crust, and stir in cooled Blueberry mixture making a decorative pattern.  Chill in freezer til firm.  Enjoy  :)  PS  This freezes very firm, it took about an hour to thaw to easily cut, so I went ahead and cut all 8 pieces and put back in the freezer in individual containers...(I'm smart that way)
