Description

A delicious and high-protein cheesecake served in individual jars, featuring a smooth and creamy cottage cheese and cream cheese filling sweetened with sugar-free maple syrup and protein powder. This easy no-bake recipe uses a keto-friendly graham cracker crust and can be customized with fresh fruits or made chocolate-flavored with cocoa powder for added richness.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup fat-free cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup vanilla salted caramel protein powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 6 keto graham crackers
  • 1 tbsp melted butter

Toppings

  • Fresh fruits of choice
  • Blueberry jam (optional)

Optional Chocolate Variation

  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, fat-free cream cheese, protein powder, sugar-free maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
  2. Make the Graham Cracker Crust: Place the keto graham crackers into the blender or food processor. Pulse until the crackers are finely crushed into a crumb-like texture.
  3. Combine Crust Ingredients: Transfer the graham cracker crumbs to a bowl and mix with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated and form slightly clumpy pieces.
  4. Assemble the Jars: Spoon a layer of the graham cracker crust mixture into the bottom of each jar or serving dish, pressing gently to form a base.
  5. Add Cheesecake Filling: Spoon the prepared cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust in each jar, smoothing the top layer evenly.
  6. Chill the Cheesecakes: Refrigerate the jars for 1 to 2 hours to allow the cheesecake filling to set and flavors to meld.
  7. Add Toppings and Serve: Top each cheesecake jar with fresh fruits like berries or a dollop of blueberry jam, then serve chilled and enjoy!
  8. Optional Chocolate Variation: For a chocolate version, blend 1 tbsp of cocoa powder into the cheesecake filling until smooth. Adjust sweetness with additional sweetener if desired, then assemble as above.

Notes

  • The chocolate cheesecake variation is easy to make by simply adding cocoa powder to the filling.
  • Use keto-friendly graham crackers to keep the crust low in carbs.
  • Allow chilling time to ensure the cheesecake filling firms up properly for the best texture.
  • Feel free to swap out toppings for your favorite fresh fruits or jams.
