Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 8 ounces low-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup honey (or your chosen sweetener)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs with 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil and 2 tablespoons of honey. Stir until well combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of small jars or dessert cups to form the crust.
- In a large bowl, blend 8 ounces of low-fat cream cheese until smooth. Add in 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup of chocolate protein powder, 1/3 cup of cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup of honey (or your chosen sweetener). Mix until everything is well incorporated and creamy.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips into the cheesecake mixture for that extra chocolatey goodness.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in each jar. Fill them generously, leaving a little space at the top for garnish.
- Cover the jars with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Before serving, you can top each jar with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a few extra chocolate chips for a finishing touch.
