Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Viral Cheesecake Yogurt (High Protein)

Jump to Recipe

if you’ve been anywhere on the internet lately, you’ve probably seen the viral cheesecake yogurt trend!

thick yogurt mixed with sweetener and flavorings, topped with crushed biscoff cookies, and eaten straight from the container like dessert.

and while the original looks delicious, you know that i had to make my own version!

this version? it keeps everything people love about the viral cheesecake yogurt, aka the creaminess, the indulgent flavor and the spoonable dessert vibe.

however, we turn it into something you can actually enjoy as a high-protein, macro-friendly snack.

taste + texture

this tastes like peanut butter cheesecake meets cookie dough yogurt.

the base is ultra thick and creamy thanks to greek yogurt, with just enough sweetness to feel dessert-like without being overpowering.

the peanut butter adds richness and depth, while the mini chocolate chips give you little pops of sweetness in every bite.

the real magic happens after it chills: the soft peanut butter protein cookies absorb moisture from the yogurt and turn cake-like and tender, almost like a cheesecake crust folded right into the filling. it’s indulgent, cozy, and very “how is this healthy?”

why this version is different (and better for you)

most viral versions use biscoff cookies, cookie butter, or heavy cream cheese layers, which is delicious, but lower in protein and higher in sugar. this recipe flips that script:

  • high protein from nonfat greek yogurt and protein powder
  • lower in carbs compared to biscoff-based versions
  • no cream cheese, but still thick and cheesecake-like
  • filling enough to actually keep you satisfied

it’s the kind of snack that works post-workout, as an afternoon pick-me-up, or as a late-night dessert that won’t leave you feeling weighed down.

why it makes such a good snack

this is one of those recipes that looks like dessert but eats like fuel.

with a balance of protein, fats, and just enough carbs, it keeps blood sugar stable and cravings in check.

it’s also portionable, easy to prep ahead, and feels way more exciting than plain yogurt in a bowl.

substitution options

  • use 2% greek yogurt for a slightly richer texture
  • swap peanut butter for almond butter or cashew butter
  • leave out chocolate chips for pb only
  • replace maple syrup with honey or a sugar-free syrup if desired

storage

store covered in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. the longer it sits, the softer the cookies become. for best texture, enjoy within the first 24–48 hours.

fat: ~12 g

Ingredients

  • cheesecake base
    32 ounces nonfat greek yogurt
    3 tbsp runny peanut butter
    3 tbsp maple syrup
    1 tsp vanilla bean paste

    soft peanut butter protein cookies
    1/2 cup runny peanut butter
    (important: if thick, mix with a little melted coconut oil until pourable)
    1/4 cup coconut sugar
    1 scoop vanilla protein powder (29 g scoop, used truvani vanilla)
    1 large egg
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1/4 cup coconut sugar–sweetened or date-sweetened mini chocolate chips

Directions

  • make the cheesecake base
    add the greek yogurt to a large container or bowl. add the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla paste. mix very well until completely smooth, thick, and creamy. set aside.
  • make the cookie dough
    in a bowl, mix the runny peanut butter, coconut sugar, protein powder, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined. fold in the chocolate chips.
  • bake the cookies
    mold the dough into about 10 small cookies and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. bake at 350°f for 10 minutes.
  • assemble
    gently press the cooled cookies into the yogurt mixture, spacing them evenly. you can lightly cover with yogurt so most of the cookies are submerged-this will soften this faster.
  • chill + set
    refrigerate for at least 6–8 hours, preferably overnight, until the cookies soften and the cheesecake yogurt fully sets.
