Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers or oats

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt, softened
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup fresh berries or fruit compote
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chia seeds or nuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Finely crush the graham crackers or oats and press them firmly into the bottom of each jar to create a crunchy foundation that balances the creamy filling.
  2. Mix the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, and your chosen sweetener. Beat the mixture until it’s smooth, creamy, and free of lumps.
  3. Assemble the Jars: Spoon the filling over the crust layer in each jar, smoothing the top with a spoon or spatula. Add layers of fresh berries or fruit compote to introduce flavor and color.
  4. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the jars for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld, resulting in the perfect creamy texture.
  5. Add Final Touches: Before serving, sprinkle optional toppings like nuts, chia seeds, or dark chocolate shavings to enhance texture and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
  • Soften cream cheese and yogurt to room temperature before mixing for easier blending.
  • Choose a mild vanilla or unflavored protein powder to avoid altering taste.
  • Keep the base layer compact and the filling smooth for perfect spoonfuls.
  • Chill jars overnight for best texture and flavor development.
