Main Ingredients
- Cream Cheese – 8 oz (softened to room temperature)
- Greek Yogurt – 1 cup (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
- Whey Protein Powder – 1/2 cup (unflavored or vanilla)
- Sweetener of Choice – 2 to 3 tbsp (honey, stevia, or maple syrup)
- Vanilla Extract – 1 tsp
- Heavy Whipping Cream – 1 cup (cold, for whipping)
- Soften and Blend Cream Cheese: Let the cream cheese come to room temperature to ensure smooth blending. Beat it using a mixer or whisk until creamy and free of lumps.
- Add Greek Yogurt and Sweetener: Mix in the Greek yogurt, your preferred sweetener, and vanilla extract. Combine thoroughly to create a balanced and creamy flavor base.
- Incorporate Protein Powder: Gradually add the whey protein powder into the mixture, blending well to maintain fluffiness while increasing protein content.
- Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to achieve a light and airy texture.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the fluff for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to set slightly before serving.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese and Greek yogurt are at room temperature to avoid lumps.
- Fold whipped cream gently to preserve lightness and fluffiness.
- Use unflavored or vanilla protein powder to keep the cheesecake flavor intact.
- Start adding sweetener slowly and adjust to taste to prevent over-sweetening.
- Use fresh, high-quality cream cheese and yogurt for best taste and texture.
