Strawberry Cheesecake Fluff is an ultra-creamy, high-protein dessert that delivers all the rich, decadent flavor of a classic strawberry cheesecake while keeping your macros locked in at 32g of protein and just 5g of carbs. It whips up in under 5 minutes for a guilt-free indulgence.
Ingredients Quantity
- 1 cup (226g) Non-fat plain Greek yogurt or low-fat cottage cheese (blended smooth)
- 1 scoop (approx. 30g) Vanilla or strawberry whey/casein protein powder
- 2 tbsp (30g) Light cream cheese or Neufchâtel, softened
- 1/4 cup (approx. 40g) Fresh strawberries, diced (plus a few extra for topping)
- 1-2 packets Zero-calorie sweetener (such as stevia or erythritol, to taste)
- A splash of vanilla extract
- Optional: 1 tbsp sugar-free strawberry Jell-O powder for an extra flavor boost
Tips for Success
- Blend the base: If using cottage cheese, make sure to blend it completely smooth first so you get that authentic, velvety cheesecake texture without any graininess.
- Stir gently: Fold the diced fresh strawberries in gently at the very end so they keep their texture and don’t bleed too much into the fluff.
- Chill for best results: While you can eat it immediately, letting it chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes allows the protein powder to thicken up the mixture into a true “fluff” consistency.
Instructions
- Whisk the softened light cream cheese, vanilla extract, and sweetener together in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the Greek yogurt (or blended cottage cheese) until fully incorporated and free of lumps.
- Add the protein powder (and optional sugar-free Jell-O powder), mixing thoroughly until the fluff becomes thick and luxurious.
- Fold in the diced fresh strawberries.
- Garnish with a few remaining strawberry slices on top, grab a spoon, and enjoy immediately or chill for later!
