Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese or Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Optional Toppings
- Fresh berries
- Dark chocolate shavings
- Granola
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, add 1 cup of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese, 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder. This combination sets the creamy base for your cheesecake fluff.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients together until the mixture becomes smooth and fluffy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender or processor as needed to ensure even mixing and the perfect airy texture.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the fluff and add more honey or maple syrup if desired to suit your preference for sweetness, blending again briefly to incorporate.
- Chill: Transfer the fluff into serving bowls or containers and chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes. Chilling helps the mixture set slightly and enhances the flavors.
- Serve with Toppings: Scoop the fluff into bowls and garnish with your choice of fresh berries, dark chocolate shavings, or granola to add some texture and extra flavor to your dessert or snack.
Notes
- To make a dairy-free version, substitute the cottage cheese or Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt, the cream cheese with vegan cream cheese, and use a plant-based protein powder.
- The recipe is highly customizable — try mixing in different toppings based on your taste preferences.
- This fluff works well as a post-workout snack due to its high protein content and balanced macronutrients.
- For an extra creamy texture, ensure your cream cheese is softened before blending.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
