High Protein Pumpkin Cheesecake Cups

If you’re anything like me, as soon as September hits, you’re fully in pumpkin mode. But let’s be real — most fall desserts are either sugar bombs or require way too much effort for a weekday indulgence. Enter: Protein Pumpkin Cheesecake Cups — the no-bake, macro-friendly dessert that’s as easy to make as it is to devour.

🧁 Why You’ll Love This Recipe:

• High in Protein – 15g of protein per serving to help hit those macro goals.

• Portion-Controlled – Built-in serving sizes in cute glass cups (perfect for meal prep or dinner parties!).
• No Baking Required – Just blend, chill, and enjoy.

Here are the Main Ingredients you will Need:

Step-by-Step Instructions:

In a bowl, mix almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt.

Divide evenly into the bottom of 4 small glass cups or jars (about 20g or 1½–2 tablespoons per cup).

Use the back of a spoon to gently press the crust into the bottom.

Chill in the fridge while making the filling.

In a blender or mixing bowl, blend together Greek yogurt, sweetener, softened cream cheese, pumpkin purée, protein powder, sweetener, spices, and vanilla.

Mix until completely smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice if needed.

Spoon the pumpkin cheesecake mixture evenly over the crusts in each cup (about 100g/cup)

Smooth the tops with a spoon or spatula.

Cover and refrigerate the cups for 1 hour or overnight, to allow the filling to set properly.

Just before serving, top with a dollop of light whipped topping or extra Greek yogurt.

Recipe Notes and Modifications

• I recommend the brand Pescience Select one for protein powder, for this recipe use the Vanilla Gourmet flavour!

• Meal Prep Friendly: Store covered in fridge for up to 4 days.

• Sweeteners: Adjust to taste; erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia blends work well.
