Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) block reduced-fat cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or 0%)
- 1 (1-ounce) package sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk)
- 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
- 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings (Optional)
- Light whipped topping
- Fresh berries
- Crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- Beat the Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using a hand mixer or stand mixer until it becomes smooth and fluffy, creating a creamy base for the fluff.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt, sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix, almond milk, protein powder, sweetener (if using), and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat the mixture on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes until it is light, smooth, and creamy.
- Let Pudding Set: Allow the mixture to sit undisturbed for 5 minutes so the pudding mix can thicken, enhancing the texture of the fluff.
- Chill: Spoon the cheesecake fluff into individual bowls or cups, then chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling improves the texture and firmness, making it easier to enjoy.
- Serve: Serve the fluff plain or topped with your choice of light whipped topping, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for added flavor and crunch.
Notes
- Use flavored Greek yogurt or protein powder (like strawberry or chocolate) to vary the flavor of the cheesecake fluff.
- For extra fluffiness, gently fold in a few tablespoons of whipped topping after mixing all ingredients before chilling.
- This recipe is perfect for meal prep and can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Adjust the amount of sweetener or type according to dietary preferences or needs.
