Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop unflavored or vanilla protein powder
- Sweetener of choice, to taste (e.g., stevia, monk fruit)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare The Base: Start by softening the cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy to eliminate any lumps for that perfect fluffy texture.
- Combine Greek Yogurt and Sweetener: Gently fold the Greek yogurt into the cream cheese, then add your sweetener. Stir carefully to combine without deflating the fluffiness.
- Add Protein Powder and Flavors: Mix in your protein powder along with vanilla extract and lemon juice to boost nutrition and enhance the cheesecake taste.
- Whip Until Fluffy: Use a hand mixer or whisk to whip the mixture for 2-3 minutes until light and airy, giving it that signature cheesecake fluff feel.
- Chill and Serve: Place the fluff in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and texture to set before serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for better whipping and a creamier mouthfeel.
- Do not overmix; whip just enough to incorporate air without turning grainy.
- Choose an unflavored or mild protein powder to maintain the cheesecake flavor balance.
- Chill cream cheese and yogurt beforehand for easier whipping and better texture.
- Add sweetener gradually to achieve your preferred level of sweetness.
