Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (240g): provides a creamy, protein-rich base
- 4 oz cream cheese (113g), softened: adds richness and classic cheesecake flavor
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (30g): boosts protein and thickens the mixture
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (30ml): adds natural sweetness
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml): enhances flavor
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (15ml): adds tangy cheesecake taste
- 1/2 cup whipped topping or whipped cream (60g): creates light and fluffy texture
Instructions
- Soften the cream cheese at room temperature or microwave for 10–15 seconds until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the protein powder while mixing to avoid clumps.
- Add honey, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until fully combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or flavor as needed.
- Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to allow the fluff to thicken.
- Serve chilled with optional toppings like berries or crushed graham crackers.
Notes
- Use thick Greek yogurt for best texture; avoid runny yogurt.
- Casein protein powder creates a thicker consistency than whey.
- Do not overmix after adding whipped topping to maintain fluffiness.
- Chill longer if the mixture seems too soft.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
