Ingredients for No Bake Mini Protein Cheesecase
These no bake mini protein cheesecake bites are made with Greek Yogurt and Protein Powder, and has no sour cream and no sugar like the normal recipes.
Here’s what you need for the no bake protein cheesecake:
- Reduced Fat Cream Cheese for a low fat and low calorie mini cheesecake recipe
- Non-fat Greek Yogurt to add the slightly sour flavor, creaminess and even more protein! You need this here because the recipe is without sour cream.
- Vanilla Protein Powder – this makes for a sugar free protein cheesecake since it serves as the sweetener in place of sugar. I used the vanilla protein powder from Quest for this recipe.
- Coconut Flour
And for the base:
- Crushed Graham Crackers
- Runny Almond Butter (no butter to keep this recipe low fat)
I recommend American Dream Nut Butter Butter my Cookie Almond Butter; Its lower fat and higher protein. The link or code HAYLSKITCHEN gives you a discount too. - Sugar Free Maple Syrup. I used the one from ChocZero for this recipe.
Tips for No Bake Protein Cheesecake Bites
- Use room temperature ingredients
The cream cheese and yogurt need to be at room temperature to avoid lumps
- Beat the cream cheese well
For a light and fluffy texture to the protein cheesecake bites
- Use a low speed to beat if using hand mixer
This prevents too much air from getting inside
- Let no bake cheesecake bites cool completely
These no bake mini cheesecake cups are best served cold, and you want them to cool and set for at least 1-2 hours.
