Ingredients
For the Graham Crumb Base
¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
For the Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Fluff
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 30g)
4 oz light cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2–3 tablespoons powdered sweetener or honey (adjust to taste)
1 cup fresh blueberries
Pinch of salt
For Topping
Extra blueberries
Lemon zest curls
A sprinkle of graham crumbs
Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Graham Crumb Layer
In a small bowl, combine:
Graham cracker crumbs
Melted butter
Honey (if using)
Mix until the crumbs resemble wet sand.
Divide the mixture evenly between four dessert jars or glasses.
Press gently to create a cheesecake-style crust layer.
Place the jars in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
2. Prepare the Blueberry Layer
Add blueberries to a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
Cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release their juices.
Lightly mash some blueberries while keeping a few pieces whole for texture.
Remove from heat and allow the blueberry mixture to cool completely.
For a quicker option, you can use fresh blueberries without cooking them.
3. Make the Protein Cheesecake Filling
Add cottage cheese to a blender or food processor.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Add:
Greek yogurt
Cream cheese
Protein powder
Lemon juice
Lemon zest
Vanilla extract
Sweetener
Salt
Blend again until the mixture becomes smooth, thick, and fluffy.
Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon flavour according to preference.
4. Add Blueberry Swirl
Gently fold the cooled blueberry mixture into the cheesecake filling.
Do not fully mix it because keeping some blueberry swirls creates a beautiful layered appearance.
5. Assemble the Jars
Remove the jars from the refrigerator.
Add the lemon cheesecake fluff over the graham crumb layer.
Smooth the tops with a spoon.
Add extra blueberries and lemon zest on top.
6. Chill Before Serving
Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours.
The chilling time allows the filling to become thicker and gives the flavours time to blend.
Serve cold and enjoy.
