Ingredients

2 cups cottage cheese (2% MF)

4 tablespoons maple syrup

3 cups plain Greek yogurt (full fat)

2 cups crushed graham crackers

1 cup berries (or more, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Add the cottage cheese to a large food processor. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes, or until smooth and creamy. Add the maple syrup and blend again until fully incorporated.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the whipped cottage cheese and Greek yogurt using a silicone spatula until smooth and well-mixed.
  3. Layer the jars in the following order: Start with a layer of crushed graham crackers. Add a layer of the cheesecake mixture on top. Repeat with another layer of graham crackers, followed by a layer of berries.
  4. Finish with the remaining cheesecake mixture on top and garnish with more berries when ready to serve.
  5. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes for a firmer texture or enjoy right away for a creamier, more decadent treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute the maple syrup with honey, agave nectar, or a sugar substitute of your choice.
  • If you prefer a lower-fat version, you can use non-fat Greek yogurt and low-fat cottage cheese.
  • These jars can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Other toppings like chocolate chips, nuts, or coconut flakes can be added for extra flavor and texture.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, use a hand blender or regular blender to achieve the smooth consistency.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the graham crackers with gluten-free cookies or biscuits.
