Instructions
Make the coulis:
- Place the berries, sugar, water and lemon juice in a medium sauce pan.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce to medium-low until all of the sugar is dissolved ~7-9 minutes.

- Remove from the heat and cool completely.
- Once cooled place in a blender and puree until smooth.
- Pour through a fine mesh sieve to catch the seeds.
- Store covered in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Make the Oat Crumble
- In a bowl mix together the oats, 1/4 cup Syntrax Nectar Sweets Vanilla Bean Torte Protein Powder, corn starch, cinnamon and brown sugar.
- Add in the coconut oil and gently with a fork mix it in to form a crumbly texture.
- Set aside.
- Mix the boiling water and gelatin packets in a bowl and stir until completely dissolved.

Make the Cheesecake
- Place the cottage cheese in a blender and blend until super creamy and no lumps appear. You may have to stop and use a rubber tipped spatula to push down.
- Add in the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla bean paste and protein powder.
- Mix until just incorporated and with the blender running slowly pour in the liquid gelatin. The mixture should become liquidy and creamy.
Assemble

- Top with some coulis, another layer of cheese cake, more crumble and end with some coulis.
- Cover and store in the fridge for at least 4 hours or until the cheesecake mixture is firm.
