Description
Indulge in creamy and dreamy Healthy Protein Cheesecake Jars that are satisfying yet guilt-free, perfect for family gatherings or a sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups cottage cheese
- 1 cup fat-free cream cheese
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- Sugar-free maple syrup to taste
- 6 graham crackers or crumbs
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- Toppings: Fresh fruit, jam
Instructions
- Blend the Filling: Start by adding the cottage cheese, fat-free cream cheese, vanilla protein powder, and sugar-free maple syrup into a blender. Blend everything until it becomes smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps!
- Prepare the Crust: Grab your graham crackers and crush them into small pieces. You can do this in a zip-lock bag or use a food processor. Mix the crushed crackers with melted butter in a bowl until it resembles wet sand.
- Layer the Jars: Take your jars (about 4-6 small jars, depending on size) and press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each jar to form a firm crust.
- Add the Filling: Spoon that delicious cheesecake filling over the crust in each jar. Don’t be shy; fill them up!
- Chill: Place the jars in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 60 to 120 minutes. This step helps the cheesecake set beautifully.
- Serve: When you’re ready to enjoy, top each jar with fresh fruit or a dollop of jam for an extra pop of flavor.
Notes
These jars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days or frozen for 2-3 months. Best enjoyed chilled.
