Healthy Cheesecake Recipes Mini Basque Cheesecake

When I first baked this mini Basque cheesecake, I didn’t expect it to become one of my favorite healthy cheesecake recipes, but here we are. The thing is, it’s rich without being heavy, light yet still indulgent, and packed with protein. If you’ve ever wanted dessert that feels like a treat but still fits into your day without tipping the scale, this one’s it. I know the words healthy and cheesecake don’t usually sit next to each other, but this recipe changes that. With the magic of Greek yogurt and a clever mix of ingredients, you’ll get a high protein cheesecake that feels creamy and satisfying without the sugar overload. Honestly, it tastes so good, no one would guess it belongs on a list of low calorie high protein recipes. I call them mini miracles. I’ll be honest, I’ve tried so many mini cheesecake recipes over the years, and most were either too dry, too bland, or felt more like a protein bar in disguise. But this one? It’s smooth, slightly caramelized around the edges, and the portion size means you don’t have to share. It’s my go-to protein cheesecake recipe when I want something that works both as dessert and as part of my healthy high protein recipes collection. And yes, it’s an easy mini cheesecake recipe—one you can whip up in no time and feel good about afterwards.
