Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 8 oz low-fat cream cheese
- 2 scoops chocolate protein powder
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup sweetener (stevia, monk fruit, honey, maple syrup, or sugar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate chips (dark or sugar-free for topping)
- Crushed graham crackers (optional for layering)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 8 oz of low-fat cream cheese, 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder, and 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder. Beat them together until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in your preferred sweetener (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup, depending on your taste) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend until fully combined.
- In small jars or glasses, start with a layer of your cheesecake mixture, filling them about halfway. Tap the jars gently to settle the mixture.
- If you like, add a layer of crushed graham crackers or a sprinkle of chocolate chips between layers for added texture and flavor.
- Continue layering until you reach the top of the jars, finishing with a generous dollop of the cheesecake mixture. For a beautiful finish, top with a few chocolate chips or a dusting of cocoa powder.
- Cover the jars with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you have the time. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- When ready to enjoy, simply grab a jar, and dig in with a spoon. You can garnish with fresh berries or a drizzle of nut butter for an extra treat.
