Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt
- 1/2 cup Protein Powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 2–3 tbsp Sweetener (honey or stevia)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Soften the cream cheese until it reaches room temperature for easy blending. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and uniform in texture.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This whipping process is crucial to creating the airy, light texture that characterizes the fluff.
- Fold Ingredients Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful to fold evenly without overmixing to avoid deflating the whipped cream, thereby maintaining the dessert’s fluffiness.
- Chill and Set: Transfer the combined mixture into a serving dish or individual containers. Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up slightly, resulting in a delightful and creamy consistency.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth blending without lumps.
- Adjust sweetener quantity to taste, especially if using stevia as it is more concentrated.
- For a firmer texture, chill for longer than one hour if desired.
- Vanilla or unflavored protein powder works best to keep the flavor balanced.
- This dessert contains dairy; substitute ingredients for dietary restrictions if needed.
