No bake cheesecake for one

Although I’m a food blogger, I am incredibly lazy. From pizza to brownies, I like creating recipes that are quick, easy and healthy. Oh, and delicious of course. Just like this no bake single serve cheesecake!

There is no need for baking to make this mini cheesecake with Greek yogurt. From crust to cream, the entire recipe comes together in a bowl. Or rather, in two bowl: one for the oat crust and one of the yogurt cream. What is more, making this Greek yogurt cheesecake won’t take you more than 10 minutes.

Ingredients

This single serve protein cheesecake recipe requires just a handful of simple ingredients. No need protein powder, gelatin or anything that you can’t find at the grocery store.

Starting from the base, here is all you should have to make the crust. As always, I have also included more details and substitute options, in case you need.

  • Rolled oats: also known as “old-fashioned” oats, these are the most common types of oats in the market – the one with the flat flakey shape. As an alternative you can replace with quick cooking oats, but not with steel cut oats.
  • Maple syrup: this recipe requires a liquid sweetener. If you don’t have maple syrup, you can swap it out for honey, agave syrup or date syrup. Just keep in mind that granular sweeteners do not work.
  • Coconut oil: this ingredient is necessary for getting the right crust consistency. As an alternative you can use any neutral oil or butter.

As you will see, the healthy cheesecake layer is also very simple. Here’s all you need!

  • Greek yogurt: this recipe requires thick Greek yogurt, and I highlight thick. Keep in mind that the Greek yogurt should have a firm consistency or your single serve cheesecake won’t turn out as expected. As an alternative you can also use Skyr or quark. 
  • Cream cheese: for a low calorie single serve cheesecake, this recipe uses low fat cream cheese. But if you prefer, also full fat cream cheese works. Please note that you cannot substitute cream cheese with more Greek yogurt, as it is necessary for getting the right cheesecake texture.
  • Granular sweetener: for a sugar-free no-bake cheesecake, this recipe uses erythritol. As an alternative, you can utilize any other granular sweetener, coconut sugar or brown sugar.

How to make protein cheesecake for one

Start by lining a small cheesecake mold with parchment paper or wrapping paper, so that the cheesecake won’t stick to the sides.

To make the oatmeal crust, in a small bowl combine together the oats, maple syrup, coconut oil and a pinch of salt. Mix well, until you get a doughy texture. Only in the case that the oat mixture is too thick, adjust with a small drop of milk until it gets fixed. Once the oat cheesecake crust is ready, press it firmly at the bottom of the prepared mold.

Greek yogurt cheesecake

To make the healthy cheesecake layer, all you have to do is whisking together Greek Yogurt, cream cheese and granular sweetener until the cream is smooth. When it is ready, transfer the cheesy mixture into the cheesecake mold, on top of the oatmeal crust. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours before serving.

After refrigerating and allowing the cheesecake to set, you can serve it right away or keep in the fridge for a maximum of 3 days. In the second case, make sure to seal your dessert in an airtight food container. Otherwise the Greek yogurt layer will get sour.
