How to Make Our High-Protein Cheesecake Fluff
-
Blend the base.
In a large bowl, mix Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, protein powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract.
Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. If the mixture feels too thick, add a splash of almond milk or water to loosen it slightly. -
Whip the cream.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This step gives the fluff its light, mousse-like texture. -
Fold gently.
Fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture using a spatula. Go slowly to keep the mixture airy. -
Add sour cream (optional).
If using, fold in the sour cream for extra tang and a more traditional cheesecake flavor. -
Chill to set.
Spoon the mixture into serving cups or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to thicken and set. -
Serve and enjoy.
Top with fresh fruit just before serving and enjoy chilled.
