Key element — cool the sauce before layering
Warm blueberry sauce melts the cheesecake layer. Simmer it quickly, then chill while you mix the filling so the parfait stays in clean stripes.
Ingredients
Crumb crust
- ¾ cup almond flour
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
- 1 Tbsp powdered sugar-free sweetener
- Pinch of salt
Cheesecake filling
- 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1–2 Tbsp heavy cream, as needed
Blueberry layer
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, divided
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1–2 Tbsp powdered sugar-free sweetener
- ½ tsp lemon juice
- Pinch of xanthan gum or 1 tsp chia seeds (optional, to thicken)
- Extra blueberries and mint for garnish
Swaps
- Higher protein: Keep the protein powder and use extra-thick Greek yogurt.
- No protein powder: Use 2 extra Tbsp cream cheese.
- Berry mix: Use raspberries for fewer carbs.
- Nut-free crust: Use crushed pork rinds mixed with butter and sweetener.
Instructions
| 1 | Make the sauce. Simmer ⅔ cup blueberries with water, sweetener, and lemon juice 4–6 minutes until they burst. Mash lightly and thicken if needed. Cool completely. |
| 2 | Make the crust. Mix almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, and salt. Divide among 4 small jars and press lightly. |
| 3 | Make the filling. Beat cream cheese, yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, and vanilla until smooth. Add cream only if it needs to loosen for piping or spooning. |
| 4 | Layer and chill. Add filling, a few fresh blueberries, more filling, then cooled sauce. Top with extra berries. Chill at least 25 minutes before serving. |
Pro tips
- Room-temperature cream cheese keeps the filling lump-free.
- Don’t overdo the sauce — blueberries add most of the carbs.
- A piping bag makes cleaner cheesecake layers in narrow jars.
- Chill the sauce in a shallow bowl so it cools faster.
- These taste even better after a few hours in the fridge.
