Summer seems to have arrived here, and with it has come more eating out, more socialising and more fun! Obviously that is wonderful, but it’s easy for summer eating to go a little too heavy on the treats. It’s good to have an easy but healthy dessert recipe up your sleeve when you feel like reducing the sugar and rich foods and want something lighter and that’s where this cheesecake in a glass recipe comes in!

This recipe uses super light and high in protein Quark from Graham’s the Family Dairy. Quark is a spoonable cream cheese that contains no fat. Being high in protein means it’s an excellent food for those of us who are seeking to lose weight as eating more protein supports stable blood sugar levels and helps the body maintain muscle mass, which is essential as greater muscle equals more fat burning. For that reason it’s also a great food for active people especially if you lift weights.

Usually low fat means a product is full of additives and sugar, but Graham’s Quark doesn’t contain anything other than dairy making it a great option in this recipe.

As I said, I do love my desserts but usually like to keep them on the lighter, healthier side when I can. This cheesecake in a glass is a fun recipe, great for enjoying outside with friends. It doesn’t take long to make and only contains natural ingredients.

I’ve used almonds and oats to create a nutty crumbly base, mixed the Quark with honey and vanilla for a little sweetness and added sweet blueberries and tangy passionfruit to make it something special. To be honest it’s so healthy you could easily enjoy this for breakfast!

To make this recipe very low carb if you’re following that kind of approach, just leave out the oats in the base and the blueberries and use stevia in place of the honey with the Quark.

    This sounds amazing – it’d be great to make in advance for guests. I still haven’t tried quark but it seems to be on my Instagram feed a lot lately and looks really versatile. x

    LOVE the look of this! It’s good to finally see a healthier cheesecake recipe that doesn’t require a date based base – am I the only one who isn’t mad about dates?! This looks so fresh and summery, I’d actually happily eat this for breakfast, ha!
