Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Base
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (50 g) protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1/4 cup (30 g) sweetener of choice (such as erythritol or stevia blend)
- 1/4 cup (60 g) plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Allow the cream cheese to soften to room temperature for easier blending, ensuring a smooth and creamy texture in the final cheesecake cups.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the softened cream cheese, protein powder, sweetener, and Greek yogurt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, scraping down the sides as needed to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Portion Mixture: Spoon or pour the blended cheesecake mixture evenly into small serving cups or ramekins, distributing about 3-4 ounces per cup depending on size.
- Chill to Set: Place the cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the mixture firms up to a cheesecake-like consistency. For best results, chill overnight.
- Serve: Remove from the refrigerator and enjoy the protein-packed cheesecake cups as a nutritious dessert or snack. Optionally, add fresh berries or a sprinkle of nuts on top before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with dairy-free yogurt for a lactose-free version.
- Adjust sweetness according to taste by increasing or decreasing the sweetener.
- If the mixture is too thick to blend, add a small splash of milk or water to facilitate blending.
- These cups are best served chilled and should be consumed within 3 days for optimal freshness.
- Feel free to add natural flavorings like vanilla extract or lemon zest for extra flavor.
