Ingredients Needed

Cheesecake Fluff Base:

• 2 cups Fage Total 0% Greek Yogurt
• 1 cup Good Culture Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (blended smooth or left as-is for texture)
• 1 box (0.3 oz) Jell-O Sugar-Free Instant Vanilla Pudding mix
• 1/2 cup Fairlife Fat-Free Milk (or preferred high-protein milk alternative)
• 1 cup Cool Whip Lite (thawed)
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Fruit & Topping Layers:

• 1 cup Fresh strawberries (chopped)
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup Fresh blackberries or raspberries
• 1/4 cup Graham cracker crumbs (for the perfect crust flavor topping)

How to Make Our Berry Cheesecake Fluff Cups

1. Combine the Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, Fairlife milk, vanilla extract, and the dry sugar-free vanilla pudding mix in a large mixing bowl. Whisk vigorously until the pudding powder is fully dissolved and the base starts to thicken.
2. Fold the thawed Cool Whip Lite into the cheesecake base using a rubber spatula. Gently incorporate it to keep the texture beautifully light, airy, and fluffy.
3. Stir the chopped strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries directly into the bowl, creating a gorgeous purple and red marble swirl throughout the cream as shown in the top right panel.
4. Scoop the fluffy cheesecake mixture evenly into four large clear grab-and-go cups using a large spoon or cookie scoop.
5. Garnish the top of each cup with a generous sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs and a few extra fresh berries to replicate that authentic cheesecake crust experience. Serve immediately or chill for an hour to let the flavors fully develop.

Storage & Serving Suggestions

• Storing: Keep the cups covered in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. The graham cracker topping may soften over time, so feel free to add that right before eating.
• Reheating: No reheating required—this dessert is best enjoyed chilled straight from the fridge!
• Freezing: While you can freeze this recipe, the texture of the Greek yogurt and whipped topping will change slightly upon thawing. For best results, enjoy it fresh from the refrigerator.
• Serving pairings: Enjoy this as a high-protein afternoon snack alongside a hot cup of black coffee, or pack it in a cooler for an easy, protein-packed picnic dessert.

Tips & FAQs

• Can I blend the cottage cheese first? Absolutely. If you prefer a completely uniform, ultra-smooth commercial yogurt texture, blend the cottage cheese in a food processor before folding it into the mix to eliminate any small curds.
• Can I use different pudding flavors? Yes! White chocolate, cheesecake, or banana cream sugar-free pudding mixes work beautifully as a base variation for this fluff recipe.
• How can I make this lower in carbs? Simply omit the graham cracker crumbs or swap them for crushed toasted pecans or almonds to reduce the carbohydrate count while adding a great healthy fat crunch.
• Can I use frozen berries? Fresh berries work best because they hold their shape. Frozen berries will bleed extra moisture into the fluff as they thaw, which can make the texture slightly runny.
