How to Make Our Cookie Butter Cheesecake
Whisk together the Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, sugar-free pudding mix, and sweetener in a small bowl. Stir vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps of powder remain.
Smooth the cheesecake mixture into a small ramekin or serving dish, leveling the top with the back of a spoon. Drizzle the melted cookie butter evenly over the surface of the cheesecake.
Sprinkle the crushed cookie pieces over the top for that signature crunch. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set. Enjoy this points-friendly dessert whenever those cookie butter cravings strike.

- Freezing: You can freeze this for up to 2 weeks. Thaw in the fridge for 2 hours before eating for a “frozen yogurt” style texture.

Tips & FAQs
Can I make this dairy-free? You can substitute the Greek yogurt with a high-protein almond or soy-based yogurt, though the protein count may decrease slightly. Ensure your protein powder is also plant-based.
How do I get the best texture? For the creamiest result, use a hand frother or a small whisk to ensure the pudding mix and protein powder are fully incorporated into the yogurt.
Can I meal prep this? Absolutely! This is a fantastic meal-prep dessert. Simply prepare 3 or 4 ramekins at once and keep them in the fridge for an easy grab-and-go treat throughout the week.
Is there a lower-point cookie butter alternative? If you want to save more points, you can use a powdered peanut butter mixed with a dash of cinnamon and sugar-free maple syrup as a topping substitute.
