Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper (or use a non stick pan)
In a food processor – combine cream cheese, eggs, melted butter, and heavy whipping cream. Blend on high for about a minute until the mixture is smooth. Scrape down the sides too.
Add unflavored whey protein isolate, beef gelatin powder, baking soda and salt to the mixture. Blend again until everything is fully combined, scraping down the sides if needed.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the bread has risen and is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
Room Temperature Ingredients MatterLet the cream cheese sit out for about an hour so it softens- cold cream cheese stays lumpy and keeps the batter from turning silky.Room-temperature eggs mix in faster and help the loaf bake evenly. The heavy cream can stay cool, just avoid pouring it in ice-cold.Don’t Rush the BlendingGive the wet ingredients a full minute in the food processor even if they look smooth sooner- the extra time adds tiny air bubbles that help the bread rise.After you tip in the dry mix, blend again until everything looks completely even, pausing once to scrape the sides so no powder sticks and forms dense spots later.The Right Protein Powder Makes a DifferenceChoose an unflavored whey protein isolate. It has more protein and less lactose than concentrates or blends, so it mixes in cleanly and keeps the finished loaf light instead of gummy.
