Snickers Protein Cheesecake

Print Recipe

A creamy, high-protein cheesecake that combines the flavors of a Snickers bar with a smooth cheesecake base. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without the sugar crash.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt or skyr
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey or neutral-flavored protein powder
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or zero-cal sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Milk of choice to adjust thickness
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers or high-fiber cookie for crust
  • 2 tablespoons melted light butter or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Light caramel or date caramel for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prep the crust: Crush grahams or cookies in a bag or food processor. Stir in melted butter until clumps form. Press into a lined 8-inch pan or into jars for pudding. Chill.
  2. Blend the filling: Add cream cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, cocoa, vanilla, and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth, adding milk as needed.
  3. Fold in the mix-ins: Stir in chopped roasted peanuts and mini chocolate chips, saving some for topping.
  4. No-bake option: Spread filling over crust, drizzle with caramel and sprinkle with peanuts and chips. Chill for 3-4 hours or overnight.
  5. Baked option: Pour filling into lined springform pan and bake at 300°F for 30-35 mins until just set. Cool completely, then chill for 3 hours before serving.
  6. Serve: Slice and drizzle with extra caramel, optionally topping with sea salt.

Notes

For a pudding-style dessert, serve the filling directly in jars without the crust. Adjust sweetness to preference.
