Topped with a homemade strawberry sauce, these bites are flavorful, satisfying, and easy to prepare using simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tbsp melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 1 scoop PEScience Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Powder

Strawberry Sauce

  • 3/4 cup frozen strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with muffin liners to prepare for the crust and cheesecake filling.
  2. Make the crust: In a blender or food processor, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture is well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of each muffin liner to form the crust base.
  3. Prepare the cheesecake filling: Blend together the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, sugar-free maple syrup, egg, and the strawberry cheesecake protein powder until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring a consistent texture for the cheesecake.
  4. Assemble and bake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crusts in the muffin tin, filling each cup evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 38 to 41 minutes, until the cheesecake bites are set and slightly firm to touch.
  5. Make the strawberry sauce: While the cheesecake bites are baking, place the frozen strawberries in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook them gently, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and create a sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the cheesecake bites to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, top each bite with the freshly made strawberry sauce. For best results, refrigerate the cheesecake bites overnight before serving to improve texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen strawberries for the sauce depending on availability.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake bites overnight for optimal texture and flavor.
  • Allows for a gluten-free option when using gluten-free graham crackers.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier blending.
  • These cheesecake bites are perfect for meal prep and portable snacks.
