These High Protein Cheesecake Jars are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a sweet treat without the guilt. Creamy cottage cheese and Greek yogurt are blended together and layered with graham crackers and berries for a satisfying and protein-packed dessert or snack. This easy recipe is ideal for beginner cooks, requiring minimal prep and delivering maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups 2% MF cottage cheese
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 cups full-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1 cup berries (or more)

Instructions

  • Blend the Cottage Cheese: Add the cottage cheese to a large food processor. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes, or until smooth and creamy. Blending the cottage cheese is essential for creating a smooth and creamy cheesecake filling. Don’t be tempted to skip this step!

  • Add Maple Syrup: Add the maple syrup to the food processor and blend again until well combined. The maple syrup adds sweetness and helps to create a smooth and uniform texture.

  • Combine with Greek Yogurt: In a large mixing bowl, gently mix the whipped cottage cheese and Greek yogurt using a silicone spatula. Folding the ingredients together prevents you from overmixing the filling.

  • Layer the Jars: Layer the jars in the following order: graham crackers, cheesecake mixture, graham crackers, berries, and cheesecake mixture. You can adjust the layering order to your preference. Using clear jars allows you to see the beautiful layers of your cheesecake creation.

  • Garnish and Serve: Garnish with more berries when ready to serve, or serve immediately. Adding fresh berries on top makes the cheesecake jars look even more appealing.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer flavor.
  • Get creative with different berries or fruits.
  • Chill for a firmer consistency (optional).
  • Use other cookies or crusts as alternatives.
