Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to make a batch of six creamy jars:

  • 1 cup fat-free Greek yogurt – Adds tangy flavor and creamy body.
  • 1 package (1 oz) sugar-free instant cheesecake pudding mix – The secret to that cheesecake texture without the calories.
  • 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter (PB2 or similar brand) – Brings real peanut butter flavor for a fraction of the fat.
  • ½ cup fat-free cottage cheese or light cream cheese – Adds richness and a velvety texture.
  • 2 tablespoons Truvia or preferred zero-calorie sweetener – Keeps it perfectly sweet without sugar.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Enhances the overall flavor.
  • A pinch of salt – Balances sweetness and deepens flavor.
  • 6 crushed chocolate graham cracker pieces or sugar-free cookies – For the “pie crust” layer at the bottom.
  • Optional topping: Crumbled chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate syrup.

Equipment You’ll Need

  • High-speed blender or food processor (like a NutriBullet)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • 6 small mason jars or ramekins

These tools make it easy to achieve the smooth, creamy consistency that makes these jars irresistible.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust.
    Crush your chocolate graham crackers or cookies and place a small spoonful into the bottom of each jar. Press lightly to create a thin crust layer.
  2. Blend the filling.
    In a blender or food processor, combine the Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, pudding mix, PB2, vanilla extract, sweetener, and salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust.
    Give it a quick taste—add more sweetener if you like a sweeter flavor or a little extra PB2 for a stronger peanut butter note.
  4. Assemble the jars.
    Spoon or pipe the mixture evenly into your jars on top of the crust layer. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
  5. Chill before serving.
    Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least one hour (or overnight if possible). This allows the flavors to develop and the texture to firm up.
  6. Add optional toppings.
    Sprinkle a few chocolate shavings, crushed peanuts, or sugar-free chocolate chips before serving for a beautiful finishing touch.
