Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

2 cups cottage cheese (2% milk fat)
4 tablespoons maple syrup
3 cups plain Greek yogurt (full fat)
2 cups crushed graham crackers
1 cup berries (or more, fresh or frozen)

Instructions

Blend Cottage Cheese: Add the cottage cheese to a large food processor and blend for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Then add the maple syrup and blend again until fully incorporated.
Mix with Greek Yogurt: Transfer the whipped cottage cheese to a mixing bowl and fold in the plain Greek yogurt gently using a silicone spatula until well combined.
Assemble the Jars: Begin layering the jars starting with a layer of crushed graham crackers, then a layer of the cheesecake mixture, followed by another layer of graham crackers, a layer of berries, and topped with more cheesecake mixture. Garnish with additional berries on top if desired.
Serve: Serve the jars immediately or chill briefly before serving to enhance the flavors. This recipe yields about 4 individual jars.

Notes

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and richer taste.
If you prefer sweeter cheesecake, adjust the maple syrup quantity to taste.
Fresh berries are best for topping, but frozen berries can be used if fresh are not available.
Ensure cottage cheese is well blended for a smooth cheesecake texture.
These jars can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days, but are best eaten fresh.
