Description
A creamy, no-bake dessert featuring layers of protein-rich cheesecake base and edible cookie dough mix. This easy 5-ingredient snack is high in protein, low in sugar, and ready in just 10 minutes of active time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (450g) full-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop (30g) vanilla whey or casein protein powder
- 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup (100g) cookie dough mix (rolled oats, mini chocolate chips, pinch of salt)
- 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: Mini chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the cookie dough mix by combining rolled oats, mini chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a larger bowl, mash the softened cream cheese with a whisk or fork until smooth and lump-free.
- Add the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the cream cheese. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is fully combined and creamy.
- Sprinkle the protein powder over the yogurt mixture and whisk until just combined. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk one tablespoon at a time until spreadable.
- In mason jars or small cups, layer 2 tablespoons of cookie dough mix at the bottom, followed by about 1/4 cup of the cheesecake mixture. Repeat layers, ending with the creamy cheesecake layer.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and texture to set before serving.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps. Casein protein powder creates a thicker texture than whey. These cups can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days but should not be frozen as the texture may change.
