Description

This High Protein Cheesecake Jars recipe offers a creamy, protein-packed dessert that’s perfect for a healthy treat. Made with cottage cheese, fat-free cream cheese, and protein powder, it combines rich flavor with a keto-friendly graham cracker crust. The no-bake jars are topped with fresh fruits and blueberry jam for a delightful finish, with an optional chocolate variation for added indulgence.

Ingredients

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1¼ cups cottage cheese
  • 1 cup fat-free cream cheese
  • ½ cup protein powder (Vanilla Salted Caramel recommended)
  • ¼ cup sugar-free maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for chocolate version)

Crust

  • 6 keto graham crackers
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Toppings

  • Fresh fruits
  • Blueberry jam

Instructions

  1. Blend Filling: Blend cottage cheese, fat-free cream cheese, protein powder, sugar-free maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even blending.
  2. Crush Graham Crackers: Add keto graham crackers in batches to the blender and pulse until they become finely crushed crumbs.
  3. Combine Crust: Transfer the graham cracker crumbs to a bowl and mix them with melted butter until the mixture is well coated and forms clumps resembling a crust consistency.
  4. Form Crust Layer: Spoon the graham cracker crust evenly into the bottom of each jar or serving dish, pressing gently to form a firm base.
  5. Add Cheesecake Filling: Layer the creamy cheesecake filling on top of the crust in each jar.
  6. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the jars for 1 to 2 hours to allow the cheesecake filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
  7. Add Toppings: Just before serving, top each jar with fresh fruits and a spoonful of blueberry jam for added freshness and sweetness.
  8. Optional Chocolate Version: For a chocolate variation, blend 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder into the cheesecake filling during the initial blending step before assembling the jars.

Notes

  • This recipe is no-bake, making it quick and easy to prepare without heating appliances.
  • Use fat-free or low-fat cream cheese for a lighter version.
  • Protein powder flavor can be adjusted based on preference; vanilla salted caramel adds a nice sweetness.
  • Chilling time is essential for the cheesecake to firm up properly.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
  • For a vegan version, substitute dairy ingredients with plant-based alternatives, though texture and flavor will vary.
