Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 1/4 cups cottage cheese
- 1 cup fat-free cream cheese
- 1/2 cup vanilla salted caramel protein powder
- 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Crust
- 6 keto graham crackers
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Topping
- Fresh fruits for topping (such as berries, sliced kiwi, or chopped mango)
- Blueberry jam, for drizzling
Instructions
- Blend the filling: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, fat-free cream cheese, vanilla salted caramel protein powder, sugar-free maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend all ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Prepare the crust: Place the keto graham crackers in the blender and crush until fine crumbs form. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and mix with the melted butter until evenly combined and crumbly.
- Assemble: Spoon a layer of the graham cracker crumb mixture into the base of each serving jar. Then, carefully spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust layer, smoothing the top with a spoon or spatula.
- Chill: Place the assembled jars in the refrigerator and chill for 1 to 2 hours to allow the cheesecake filling to set and flavors to meld.
- Top and serve: Before serving, add fresh fruit to each jar as desired for added flavor and texture. Drizzle with blueberry jam for a touch of sweetness and enjoy your healthy, high-protein dessert jars.
Notes
- Use fat-free cream cheese and cottage cheese to keep the dessert low in fat and calories.
- Choose a protein powder flavor that complements the cheesecake, such as vanilla salted caramel.
- Keto graham crackers keep the crust low in carbs; regular graham crackers can be used as a substitute.
- Ensure the cheesecake filling is blended until smooth for the best texture.
- The jars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
