Ingredients
  

Biscuit Base

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tablespoon melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
  • Spoon the mixture into jars and press firmly to form the base layer.
  • In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth.
  • Add protein powder, honey, and vanilla extract, then mix until creamy and well combined.
  • Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the crust and smooth the top.
  • In a saucepan, cook strawberries with honey and lemon juice until softened and slightly thickened.
  • Add cornstarch slurry if a thicker texture is desired, then let the mixture cool completely.
  • Spoon the cooled strawberry topping over the cheesecake layer.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

Always use softened cream cheese to achieve a smooth, lump-free filling. Let the strawberry topping cool completely before layering to maintain clean layers. Chill overnight for the best texture and flavor development.
