Print Recipe

Make individual, creamy, high-protein cheesecakes in jars that require no baking and are simple to prepare for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or sweetener of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers or gluten-free crust mix (optional, for topping)
  • 1/4 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, mashed (optional, for swirl)

Instructions

  1. Combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a food processor or high-speed blender.
  2. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This step is crucial for texture.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly among four small mason jars or serving cups.
  4. If using strawberries, gently swirl a spoonful of mashed strawberries into the top of each jar.
  5. If using a crust, sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over the top of each jar.
  6. Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow them to set completely.
  7. Serve cold directly from the jar.

Notes

  • For a chocolate version, substitute 1/4 cup of the protein powder with chocolate protein powder and omit the strawberries.
  • If you do not have cottage cheese, you can substitute it with an equal amount of cream cheese, though the protein content will decrease slightly.
  • Use a high-quality protein powder for the best flavor and texture results.
