Ingredients

Scale

For the Cheesecake Filling:

1 ¼ cups cottage cheese
1 cup fat-free cream cheese
½ cup protein powder (Vanilla Salted Caramel or your preferred flavor)
¼ cup sugar-free maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract

For the Graham Cracker Crust:

6 keto graham crackers
1 tbsp melted butter

Toppings:

Fresh fruits (such as berries, strawberries, etc.)
Blueberry jam (optional)
Chocolate (1 tbsp cocoa powder, optional for chocolate cheesecake)

Instructions

Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust:
In a food processor, crush the keto graham crackers into fine crumbs.
Mix the crumbs with the melted butter until evenly combined.
Divide the graham cracker mixture into small jars or serving cups, pressing it down gently to form the crust layer.
Make 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 smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary (you can add a little more maple syrup or a sweetener of your choice if desired).
Assemble the Cheesecake Jars:
Spoon the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust in each jar, dividing it evenly.
For a chocolate twist, add cocoa powder to the filling before blending and stir it into the mixture for a rich chocolate flavor.
Chill:
Refrigerate the cheesecake jars for at least 2-3 hours to allow them to set and become firm.
Add Toppings:
Once ready to serve, top each cheesecake jar with fresh fruits, a dollop of blueberry jam, or a drizzle of melted chocolate for extra indulgence.
Serve and Enjoy:
Enjoy your protein-packed, low-carb cheesecake jars as a sweet treat after a meal or as a snack!

Notes

You can use any flavor of protein powder you prefer to customize the taste of the cheesecake filling.
If you’re looking for a richer chocolate cheesecake, increase the cocoa powder or add a few pieces of dark chocolate.

You can make these cheesecake jars ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
