Description

These High Protein Cheesecake Jars are a delicious, creamy dessert that combines a smooth, protein-packed cheesecake filling with a crunchy keto-friendly graham cracker crust. Sweetened naturally with sugar-free maple syrup and flavored with vanilla and salted caramel protein powder, these jars are perfect for a guilt-free indulgence topped with fresh fruits and a hint of cocoa powder.

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

Crust

  • 6 keto graham crackers
  • 1 tbsp melted butter

Toppings

  • Fresh fruits (such as berries)
  • Blueberry jam (optional)
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder (for dusting or mixing)

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-mixed.
  2. Crush the Graham Crackers: Place the keto graham crackers into the blender or food processor. Pulse until they are finely crushed into a crumb-like texture.
  3. Make the Crust: Transfer the crushed graham cracker crumbs to a bowl and mix with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated and slightly clumpy, forming the base of the crust.
  4. Assemble the Jars: Spoon a layer of the graham cracker crust into the bottom of each jar or serving dish, pressing gently to form a base layer.
  5. Add the Cheesecake Filling: Spoon the smooth cheesecake filling on top of the crust layer in each jar, creating an even layer.
  6. Chill the Dessert: Refrigerate the jars for 1-2 hours to allow the cheesecake filling to set and the flavors to meld beautifully.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top each jar with fresh fruits of your choice, a dollop of blueberry jam if desired, and a light dusting of cocoa powder. Serve chilled and enjoy your high-protein cheesecake jars!

Notes

  • You can substitute any flavor of protein powder, but vanilla salted caramel adds a nice sweetness and depth.
  • The keto graham crackers form a low-carb crust alternative making this dessert suitable for keto diets.
  • If you prefer a sweeter crust, you can add a pinch of sweetener to the graham cracker and butter mixture.
  • For a smoother texture, ensure all cream cheese is at room temperature before blending.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for best freshness.
  • Feel free to experiment with different fresh fruits as toppings, like strawberries, raspberries, or mango.
