You can make this simple, creamy Protein Cheesecake Pudding using basic ingredients. It is a macro friendly dessert that tastes like cheesecake but offers a high protein boost, perfect for a post workout treat or a guilt free sweet fix.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey or casein protein powder
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or preferred sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers or almond flour for topping (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh or frozen berries for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest into a food processor or high-speed blender.
  2. Process the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides several times. This step is important for achieving a pudding texture.
  3. Taste the mixture and add more sweetener if you prefer it sweeter.
  4. Spoon the protein cheesecake pudding into individual serving bowls or ramekins.
  5. Cover the bowls and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Chilling allows the pudding to firm up slightly and the flavors to blend.
  6. Before serving, top each portion with crushed graham crackers or almond flour and a few berries, if desired.

Notes

  • If you do not have a food processor, you can use an immersion blender, but you may need to blend longer to break down the cottage cheese curds completely.
  • Casein protein powder thickens the mixture more than whey, resulting in a thicker pudding. If using only whey, you may need to chill it longer.
  • For a Keto Cheesecake Mousse texture, use only almond flour for the base and reduce the liquid slightly.
