Protein Oreo Cheesecake
High-protein Oreo cheesecake-style dessert that’s creamy, light, and guilt-free.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 package 1 oz sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 scoop about 30 g vanilla or chocolate protein powder
- 1/2 cup milk dairy, almond, or coconut
- 8 Oreo cookies crushed, divided
Instructions
- Add the Greek yogurt, sugar-free vanilla pudding mix, and protein powder to a medium mixing bowl.
- Whisk the yogurt mixture until smooth and thick with no dry pockets of pudding or protein powder.
- Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously until the mixture is silky and spoonable.
- Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the crushed Oreo cookies for topping and add the remaining crushed Oreos to the bowl.
- Gently fold the crushed Oreos into the mixture with a spatula until evenly distributed, without overmixing.
- Transfer the mixture into a small serving dish or 4 individual jars and smooth the tops.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until chilled and slightly thickened.
- Uncover, sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreos over the top, and serve cold.
Notes
- For a richer, more cheesecake-like flavor, replace some or all of the Greek yogurt with low-fat cream cheese.
- For best texture and color, add the final Oreo topping just before serving so it stays crunchy and does not soften in the fridge.
