Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup Granola Provides a crunchy, slightly sweet crust; can substitute with crushed graham crackers or nuts.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese Use Good Culture 2% low-fat for smooth texture.
  • 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt Any thick, plain variety works great.
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup Naturally sweetens; honey or agave can be used instead.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste Optional for enhanced flavor; can swap with vanilla extract.
  • 1/3 cup Key Lime Juice Fresh juice is ideal, but bottled is acceptable.
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Zest Essential for brightening the flavor profile.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream Use for making whipped cream topping.

Equipment

  • food processor
  • Stand Mixer
  • piping bag
  • 8 oz Jars

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a food processor, pulse the granola until it reaches a fine crumb consistency, which should take about 30 seconds. Divide the crushed granola evenly among three 8 oz jars, pressing down gently to form a solid base.
  2. In the same food processor, combine the cottage cheese, plain Greek yogurt, maple syrup, lime zest, key lime juice, and optional vanilla bean paste. Blend for 10-15 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  3. Carefully spoon or pour the filling into each jar on top of the granola crust, ensuring even distribution. Cover with lids and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  4. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk, whip the heavy cream on high speed for 3-4 minutes until soft peaks form. Add a splash of vanilla bean paste and sweeten with maple syrup if desired.
  5. Generously dollop whipped cream on top of each cheesecake filling in the jars, garnishing with additional lime zest and a lime wedge.
