Instructions

Base and Filling

  1. Divide the crushed chocolate cookies evenly among four small mason jars or glasses, pressing down lightly to form a base.
  2. In a high-speed blender, combine cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, and peanut butter. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Spoon the cheesecake mixture into the jars over the cookie base, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top.

Ganache and Finish

  1. Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave in 20-second intervals until smooth.
  2. Pour a thin layer of chocolate ganache over the top of each jar, tilting the jar to ensure full coverage.
  3. Immediately press half a peanut butter cup into the center of the wet chocolate.
  4. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate shell to harden before serving.

Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 3

Use a high-speed blender for the cottage cheese to ensure a silky, lump-free texture; if you don't have one, press the cottage cheese through a fine-mesh sieve first.

Tip 2 of 3

The ganache sets rapidly due to the cold cheesecake layer; pour it quickly and tilt the jar immediately to achieve an even lid.

Tip 3 of 3

For the best flavor profile, use a chocolate whey or casein protein powder with a creamy vanilla or chocolate base.
