These No-Bake Protein Lemon Cheesecake Cups are a delicious, guilt-free dessert option you can feel good about. With their high-protein content and delightful lemony freshness, they’re perfect for satisfying cravings while staying on track with your health goals.

Cottage cheese might not be the first ingredient that comes to mind when you think of cheesecake, but trust me, it works wonders here. It adds a creamy texture and boosts the protein content without the heaviness of traditional cream cheese. Plus, it's a great source of calcium and other nutrients, making these cheesecake cups a wholesome treat. Trust me, these taste just like cheesecake. Don't knock it until you try it!
Let’s face it—sometimes turning on the oven feels like a daunting task, especially in the summer months. That’s where no-bake desserts come to the rescue. This recipe requires minimal effort and absolutely no baking. Just mix, chill, and enjoy—a perfect solution for satisfying your dessert cravings without breaking a sweat.
Store your leftover lemon cheesecake cups covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. If you separate the graham crackers, they can last a whole week or more in the fridge. The reason why I say 2 days is because the graham crackers lose their crunch sitting in the mixture after that.
