Ingredients
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits and melted coconut oil. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Divide the biscuit mixture evenly into two small dessert glasses or ramekins. Press firmly into the bottom to form a crust.
In a separate bowl, combine the quark, vanilla protein powder, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired (add a dash of stevia or erythritol if needed, but the protein powder usually provides enough).
Gently fold in half of the mixed berries into the quark mixture.
Spoon the quark mixture evenly over the biscuit crust in each glass.
Top with the remaining fresh mixed berries.
Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the cheesecake cups to set and flavors to meld. For best results, chill overnight.
💡 Pro Tip
For an extra protein boost and thicker texture, you can add 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin (dissolved in 2 tablespoons of hot water) to the quark mixture before chilling. Ensure your protein powder is a high-quality whey or casein blend for optimal creaminess.
