These Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cheesecake Jars are the ultimate no-bake, single-serve dessert made with cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, fresh strawberries, and a rich chocolate crust. If you’re looking for a viral-worthy cottage cheese cheesecake jar that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day but just as craveable year-round, this strawberry chocolate version is it.

If you’ve been around here for a bit, you already know my cheesecake jars go crazy every time I share them, and this strawberry chocolate combo might be one of my favorites yet. The creamy blended cottage cheese base, fresh and freeze-dried strawberries, and that snappy melted chocolate layer give you the same vibes as chocolate covered strawberries, but in a fun, make-ahead cheesecake jar dessert you can keep in the fridge for when that craving hits.

And if you’re officially hooked on this style of no-bake cottage cheese desserts, don’t forget I have over 20 different cheesecake jar flavors on the blog already, from cozy favorites like my Almond Croissant Cheesecake Jars to fun, nostalgic flavors like my Oreo Cheesecake Jars. You could even serve these alongside some of my other strawberry chocolate treats—like my Dubai Chocolate Strawberries or Strawberry Bark Chocolate Bar, for an easy little dessert spread that feels special without turning on the oven.

How to Make

Add the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and fresh strawberries to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Add the freeze-dried strawberries and pulse just until combined. Transfer the cheesecake mixture to the refrigerator while you prepare the crust.

Add the chocolate cookies to a blender or food processor and blend into a fine crumb.

Assemble the jars by adding a layer of chocolate crust, followed by the strawberry cheesecake mixture, then a spoonful of melted chocolate on top. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.

Finish with whipped cream and a fresh strawberry, if desired.

Tips and Tricks

• Blend the base longer than you think. A full 45–60 seconds in the food processor is key to getting that ultra-smooth, classic cheesecake texture from the cottage cheese.
• Chill the cheesecake layer before assembling. Letting it sit in the fridge while you prep the crust makes the layers cleaner and easier to spoon.
• Don’t over-mix the freeze-dried strawberries. Pulse just a few times so you keep little pops of strawberry throughout the jars.
• Let the chocolate topping cool slightly. Warm but not hot chocolate creates a prettier top layer and won’t melt the cheesecake underneath.

How to Save and Store

Store assembled jars tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. These are perfect for making ahead for Valentine’s Day, hosting, or quick weeknight treats straight from the fridge.

Creamy strawberry chocolate cheesecake jars made with blended cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, fresh strawberries, and a chocolate cookie crust, finished with a silky melted chocolate topping for an easy no-bake dessert.

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes

Chill Time 10 minutes minutes

Total Time 20 minutes minutes

Servings 4 jars

Ingredients  

1x2x3x

Cheesecake Layer

• 1¼ cups cottage cheese (Good Culture recommended)
• ½ cup Greek yogurt (I use Fage 5% for the creamiest texture)
• 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
• 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced)
• 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries (optional, but highly encouraged)

Chocolate Crust

• ½ cup Simple Mills Chocolate Thins, crushed (can sub Oreos with the filling removed)

Chocolate Topping

• ⅓ cup chocolate chips
• 1 tsp coconut oil (for smoother melting)

Instructions

• Add the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and fresh strawberries to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 45 seconds.
• Add the freeze-dried strawberries and pulse just until combined. Transfer the cheesecake mixture to the refrigerator while you prepare the crust.
• Add the chocolate cookies to a blender or food processor and blend into a fine crumb.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each round, until smooth.
• Assemble the jars by adding a layer of chocolate crust, followed by the strawberry cheesecake mixture, then a spoonful of melted chocolate on top.
• Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
• Finish with whipped cream and a fresh strawberry, if desired.

Notes

• Full-fat Greek yogurt gives the creamiest texture and most “real cheesecake” feel.
• Simple Mills Chocolate Thins work great for the crust, but Oreos with the filling removed are a fun swap for a more classic dessert flavor.
• You can easily double this recipe to make a larger batch for parties, Galentine’s night, or meal prep desserts for the week.
