Instructions

- Layer the Jars: Spoon and layer the cheesecake mixture evenly into small jars or glasses, such as mason jars, gently pressing the mixture down to compact it for a nice presentation.
- Top with Graham Crackers: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers on top of the cheesecake mixture in each jar to add a delightful crunchy texture and enhance the flavor.
- Refrigerate: Place the jars in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the cheesecake to set properly and let the flavors meld together.
- Serve: Serve the cheesecake jars chilled for a refreshing and satisfying high-protein dessert.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a different sweetness profile.
- Use flavored or unflavored protein powder depending on your preference.
- For a lower sugar version, reduce or omit the honey and add a sugar-free sweetener.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- Graham cracker crumbs can be replaced with crushed nuts or granola for a different topping.
