Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 6 keto graham crackers
  • 1 tbsp butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup fat-free cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (Vanilla Salted Caramel flavor used)
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional for chocolate cheesecake)

Toppings

  • Fresh fruits such as berries
  • Blueberry jam (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Graham Cracker Crust: Crush the keto graham crackers into fine crumbs either using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin until finely broken down.
  2. Combine Crust Ingredients: Mix the crushed crumbs with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand, ensuring the butter is evenly incorporated.
  3. Form the Crust Base: Spoon the crust mixture into the bottom of jars or serving cups, pressing down firmly to create an even and compact layer that will hold the cheesecake filling.
  4. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a blender or food processor, blend together the cottage cheese, fat-free cream cheese, vanilla salted caramel protein powder, sugar-free maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  5. Add Chocolate (Optional): For a chocolate version, add the cocoa powder to the filling and blend again until fully combined.
  6. Assemble the Cheesecake Jars: Spoon the creamy filling over the prepared crust layers in each jar, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
  7. Refrigerate to Set: Place the jars in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld together.
  8. Add Toppings and Serve: Just before serving, top each jar with fresh berries or a drizzle of blueberry jam to add a burst of flavor and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Use fat-free cream cheese and sugar-free maple syrup to keep the dessert low in fat and sugar.
  • The recipe uses keto graham crackers for a low-carb crust, but regular graham crackers can be substituted if preferred.
  • Protein powder flavor can be adjusted to your taste; vanilla salted caramel adds a nice sweetness and depth.
  • The chocolate option is optional but adds a rich twist to the traditional cheesecake flavor.
  • This recipe is a no-bake dessert, ideal for those who want a quick and easy high-protein treat.
  • Refrigeration time is critical for the filling to set properly; do not skip this step.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for optimal freshness.
