This Caramel Apple Snickers Cheesecake Mousse is gluten free, refined sugar free, and has a boost of protein!
It encompasses the flavors of caramel apples, snickers, and a velvety smooth cheesecake all in one!
It’s completely no bake, although you could bake the apples and warm your caramel prior to drizzling for a contrast of warm and cold!
And before you question it being refined sugar free due to the snickers and the caramel, don’t worry, BOTH are homemade! You can find my homemade healthy snickers recipe HERE

Key Ingredients
- Cream cheese – provides a thick base, allowing it to whip up and adding the traditional cheesecake falvor
- Cottage cheese – adds smoothness, volume, and boosts the protein content
- Vanilla protein powder – adds to the thickness while upping the protein content. I used Just Ingredients brand 100% grass fed whey protein in French Vanilla here. It added a delicious flavor profile, too! My code colleenF10 saves you sitewide
- Almond butter – adds a delicious flavor and ties the snickers flavor in
- Green apples – the cheesecake mousse is sweet, so serving with tart granny smith apples really hits all those taste buds!
How to Make Caramel Apple Snickers Cheesecake Mousse
- Whip your cream cheese until smooth
- Add whipped cream cheese, cottage cheese, almond butter, pure maple syrup, vanilla protein powder, and vanilla extract to the bowl, or a food processor / blender, and whip/blend until completely smooth, scraping the sides to incorporate everything
- Place in the fridge while you prepare the rest
- Make caramel by whisking all ingredients together until smooth and drippy
- At this point you can choose to add the cheesecake to individual servings jars, or a large dish for serving with apple slices
- Slice the tops off of your apples, and use a spoon to scoop out the center
- Pour your mousse into a piping bag and pipe into the center of your apples
- drizzle with caramel and chopped homemade snickers
- and enjoy!
I love how easy it to just add all of the filling ingredients to a blender, mix, and pour!
Variations for Dietary Preferences
- Cream cheese – you can sub vegan cream cheese
- Cottage cheese – You can make this vegan by using 8 oz vegan cream cheese plus 1/2 cup full fat greek style yogurt
- Pure maple syrup – you can sub for honey, medjool date syrup, or sugar free syrup
- Almond butter – can also use peanut butter. You can omit the nut butter all together if you wish, but it will take away slightly from the thickness
- Vanilla protein powder – you can leave it out, or use peanut butter powder in place (just 2-3tbsp). The french vanilla does add to the flavor, so taste your mousse for sweetness and adjust accordingly
