Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 scoop (30 grams) vanilla or cheesecake protein powder
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) heavy cream, whipped (for extra fluffiness)
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 2 tablespoons powdered sweetener (monk fruit, erythritol, or stevia)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings and Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers (for a classic cheesecake vibe)
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
- 1 teaspoon chocolate chips or cocoa nibs
Instructions
- Combine softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract in a spacious mixing vessel, whisking vigorously until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency with no lumps present.
- In a chilled separate bowl, aggressively whip heavy cream using an electric mixer, creating delicate peaks that elegantly rise and gently curl when the beater is lifted.
- Carefully introduce the airy whipped cream into the protein-enhanced cheesecake base, employing a gentle folding technique to preserve the delicate volume and prevent deflation of the mixture.
- Transfer the luxurious fluff into serving glasses or a single large container, ensuring an even distribution of the creamy texture.
- Place the prepared dessert into the refrigerator, allowing it to rest and firm up for a minimum of 30 minutes, which will enhance the flavor melding and provide a more decadent, chilled experience.
- Before serving, optionally garnish with a light dusting of additional protein powder, fresh berries, or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate sauce to elevate the visual and flavor profile.
Notes
- Swap protein powders to match your dietary needs, like plant-based or whey options for different flavor profiles and nutritional benefits.
- Use sugar-free sweeteners or monk fruit extract for a low-carb version that keeps the dessert macro-friendly and diabetes-friendly.
- Experiment with flavor variations by adding cocoa powder, berry extracts, or citrus zest to create unique taste experiences without compromising the creamy texture.
- Ensure ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to guarantee a smoother, lump-free cheesecake fluff that blends perfectly and maintains a silky consistency.
