Prep Time: 15 minutes
Chill Time: 1–2 hours
Total Time: About 2 hours
Servings: 4 jars

Ingredients

For the Graham Crumb Base

  • ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

For the Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Fluff

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 30g)
  • 4 oz light cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons powdered sweetener or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Pinch of salt

For Topping

  • Extra blueberries
  • Lemon zest curls
  • A sprinkle of graham crumbs
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Graham Crumb Layer

In a small bowl, combine:

  • Graham cracker crumbs
  • Melted butter
  • Honey (if using)

Mix until the crumbs resemble wet sand.

Divide the mixture evenly between four dessert jars or glasses.

Press gently to create a cheesecake-style crust layer.

Place the jars in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

2. Prepare the Blueberry Layer

Add blueberries to a small saucepan over medium-low heat.

Cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release their juices.

Lightly mash some blueberries while keeping a few pieces whole for texture.

Remove from heat and allow the blueberry mixture to cool completely.

For a quicker option, you can use fresh blueberries without cooking them.

3. Make the Protein Cheesecake Filling

Add cottage cheese to a blender or food processor.

Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

Add:

  • Greek yogurt
  • Cream cheese
  • Protein powder
  • Lemon juice
  • Lemon zest
  • Vanilla extract
  • Sweetener
  • Salt

Blend again until the mixture becomes smooth, thick, and fluffy.

Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon flavour according to preference.

4. Add Blueberry Swirl

Gently fold the cooled blueberry mixture into the cheesecake filling.

Do not fully mix it because keeping some blueberry swirls creates a beautiful layered appearance.

5. Assemble the Jars

Remove the jars from the refrigerator.

Add the lemon cheesecake fluff over the graham crumb layer.

Smooth the tops with a spoon.

Add extra blueberries and lemon zest on top.

6. Chill Before Serving

Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours.

The chilling time allows the filling to become thicker and gives the flavours time to blend.

Serve cold and enjoy.

Tips for the Best Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Fluff

Blend cottage cheese well

Blending creates a smooth cheesecake-like texture without any cottage cheese taste.

Use fresh lemon zest

Lemon zest provides a stronger citrus flavour than lemon juice alone.

Choose thick Greek yoghurt.

A thicker yoghurt creates a richer, creamier texture.

Adjust the sweetness.

Blueberries naturally add sweetness, so start with less sweetener and increase if needed.

Use vanilla protein powder

Vanilla protein powder enhances the cheesecake flavour.

Chill overnight

The texture becomes even thicker and more cheesecake-like after resting overnight.

Keep layers visible

Add a blueberry swirl instead of completely mixing for a beautiful presentation.

Recipe Notes

Protein Powder Options

Vanilla whey protein works best because it creates a creamy texture.

You can also use:

  • Casein protein for a thicker pudding-like texture
  • Plant-based vanilla protein for a dairy-free option

The texture may vary depending on the protein powder used.

Cottage Cheese Flavor

Some people avoid cottage cheese because of the texture, but once blended, it becomes smooth and creamy.

It works perfectly as a high-protein cheesecake base.

Make It Lower Carb

To reduce carbohydrates:

  • Use a low-carb sweetener
  • Skip the graham cracker layer
  • Use fewer blueberries

Make It More Indulgent

For a richer dessert:

  • Add more cream cheese
  • Add white chocolate chips
  • Use crushed vanilla cookies instead of graham crumbs
