Description
Creamy, high-protein no-bake cheesecake cups made with Greek yogurt, a simple oat-honey crust, and fresh berries for a light yet satisfying dessert or snack.
Ingredients
60g (1/2 cup) rolled oats
30g (1 1/2 tbsp) honey
28g (2 tbsp) melted coconut oil
340g (1 1/2 cups) plain Greek yogurt (2% or 5%)
170g (6 oz) light cream cheese, softened
60g (3 tbsp) honey or maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1–2 tsp lemon juice
150g (1 cup) fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
Instructions
1. Stir together the rolled oats, honey, and melted coconut oil in a small bowl until the mixture is evenly moistened and clumps together when pressed.
2. Divide the oat mixture evenly between 6–8 small dessert cups or jars and firmly press it into the bottom of each to form a crust layer.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, softened light cream cheese, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
4. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until the cheesecake filling is completely smooth, thick, and glossy, with no visible lumps of cream cheese.
5. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the prepared crusts, dividing it evenly between the cups, and gently tap each cup on the counter to remove air bubbles and level the tops.
6. Top each cup with fresh berries or your favorite berry compote or jam.
7. Cover the cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set and spoonable like soft cheesecake.
8. Serve chilled straight from the fridge and add extra berries or a drizzle of honey just before serving, if desired.
Notes
For a firmer set, you can add 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil to the cheesecake filling before chilling.
Use thick Greek yogurt (2% or 5%); if your yogurt seems thin or watery, strain it briefly through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove excess whey.
To make these gluten-free, use certified gluten-free rolled oats in the crust.
The cheesecake cups keep well covered in the refrigerator for 3–4 days and can be frozen without the fresh fruit topping for up to 1 month.
