Ingredients for Pumpkin Protein Cheesecase Jar

This pumpkin protein cheesecake jar is made with 6 simple ingredients and is great for a quick healthy dessert for one.

Here’s what you need for the no bake protein cheesecake jar:

• Crushed Graham Crackers
• Vanilla Protein Powder – this makes for a sugar free protein cheesecake pot since it serves as the sweetener in place of sugar. I used the vanilla protein powder from Quest for this recipe.
• Reduced Fat Cream Cheese for a low fat and low calorie cheesecake pot recipe
• Non-fat Greek Yogurt to add the slightly sour flavor, creaminess and even more protein!
• Pure Pumpkin Puree either from the can like Libby’s, or homemade. Make sure its not pumpkin pie filling though
• Pumpkin Pie Spice

Tips for No Bake Pumpkin Protein Cheesecake Pot

• Use room temperature ingredients
  The cream cheese and yogurt need to be at room temperature to avoid lumps

• Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix; The pie mix is already sweetened, and not what you want here.

• Beat the cream cheese well
  For a light and fluffy texture to the protein cheesecake bites

• Use a low speed to beat if using hand mixer
  This prevents too much air from getting inside

• Let no bake cheesecake pot cool completely

This pumpkin cheesecake pot is best served cold, and you want it to cool and set for at least 1 hour.
