Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Mixture
- 2 cups cottage cheese, 2% milk fat
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 cups plain Greek yogurt, full fat
Layers and Toppings
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup fresh berries, or more for garnish
Instructions
- Blend Cottage Cheese: Add the 2 cups of cottage cheese to a large food processor and blend for 1 to 2 minutes until it becomes smooth and creamy. This step ensures a silky base for the cheesecake mixture.
- Add Sweetener: Pour in the 4 tablespoons of maple syrup into the whipped cottage cheese and blend again briefly to incorporate the sweetness evenly throughout the mixture.
- Combine with Greek Yogurt: Transfer the whipped cottage cheese into a mixing bowl and fold in the 3 cups of full-fat plain Greek yogurt using a silicone spatula until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
- Layer the Jars: In each jar, build layers starting with crushed graham crackers, then a layer of the cheesecake mixture, followed by another layer of graham crackers, fresh berries, and finish with a final layer of cheesecake mixture.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the top with additional fresh berries as desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate the jars until ready to enjoy. This recipe yields about 4 jars.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- Feel free to swap maple syrup with honey or agave nectar based on preference.
- Vanilla-flavored yogurt can be used to enhance the cheesecake flavor.
- For extra texture, add some chopped nuts or seeds in the layers.
- Store in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
