Ingredients
Cheesecake Mixture
- 2 cups cottage cheese, 2% milk fat
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 cups plain Greek yogurt, full fat
Crust and Toppings
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup berries (such as blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries), or more for garnish
Instructions
- Blend Cottage Cheese: Add the cottage cheese to a large food processor. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and creamy to create a silky base for the cheesecake.
- Add Sweetener: Add the maple syrup to the blended cottage cheese and pulse again briefly until evenly incorporated, ensuring a balanced sweetness throughout.
- Mix with Greek Yogurt: Transfer the whipped cottage cheese mixture into a mixing bowl and fold in the Greek yogurt using a silicone spatula until fully combined and smooth.
- Layer the Jars: Take your serving jars and start by adding a layer of crushed graham crackers at the bottom. Follow with a layer of the cheesecake mixture, then another layer of graham crackers. Add a layer of fresh berries, and finally top off with more cheesecake mixture. Garnish with additional berries on top for a fresh finish.
- Serve or Chill: These cheesecake jars can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld and the texture firm up slightly. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a smoother texture, ensure the cottage cheese is well blended before mixing with yogurt.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup according to taste preferences.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creaminess; low-fat versions may affect texture.
- Fresh berries can be substituted with frozen ones; just thaw and drain excess moisture before layering.
- To add crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts or granola on top when serving.
