Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Mixture
- 2 cups cottage cheese (2% milk fat)
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 cups plain Greek yogurt (full fat)
Layers
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup berries (fresh or more, as preferred)
Instructions
- Blend Cottage Cheese: Add the 2% cottage cheese to a large food processor. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Sweetener: Pour in 4 tablespoons of maple syrup to the blended cottage cheese and blend again briefly to fully incorporate the sweetness.
- Combine with Greek Yogurt: Transfer the blended cottage cheese mixture to a large mixing bowl. Fold in 3 cups of full-fat plain Greek yogurt gently using a silicone spatula until well combined and creamy.
- Assemble Jars: In each serving jar, layer 2 cups of crushed graham crackers as the base, followed by a portion of the cheesecake mixture. Add another layer of graham crackers, then a layer of berries, and top with more cheesecake mixture to fill the jars.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing the top with extra fresh berries. Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving. This recipe yields about 4 jars.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt and 2% cottage cheese to achieve a rich, creamy texture.
- Feel free to substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup if preferred.
- You can customize the berries based on seasonal availability; strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries work well.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers.
- Chilling the jars before serving can enhance the flavor and texture.
- This recipe does not require baking or cooking, making it quick and easy to prepare.
