Ingredients List

Whip Base

  • 1 ½ cups low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
  • 2 scoops vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder
  • 2 tbsp powdered sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp lemon zest (optional for extra brightness)

Fruit Layer

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tbsp blueberry puree (optional)

Optional Toppings

  • Lemon zest for garnish
  • Extra blueberries
  • Crushed graham cracker or almond flour crumbs

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Blueberries

  1. Wash and drain fresh blueberries (or thaw frozen ones).
  2. Set aside a few for topping.
  3. Lightly mash some berries with a fork to create swirls in the whip.

Step 2: Blend the Protein Whip

  1. Add cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a blender.
  2. Blend for 1–2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  3. Check sweetness and adjust as needed.

The cottage cheese adds a creamy, cheesecake-like texture while boosting protein content.

Step 3: Whip for Airiness

  1. Transfer the blended mixture into a large bowl.
  2. Use a hand mixer to whip the mixture for 1–2 minutes to make it light and airy.
  3. The texture should resemble a mousse—fluffy but thick enough to hold berries.

Step 4: Fold in Blueberries

  1. Gently fold in the mashed and whole blueberries into the whipped base.
  2. Reserve a few berries for garnish.
  3. For visual appeal, lightly swirl the puree into the top layer to create streaks of blueberry.

Step 5: Portion and Chill

  1. Divide the lemon blueberry whip into individual containers or cups.
  2. Sprinkle optional toppings like lemon zest, extra blueberries, or a few crumbs for texture.
  3. Refrigerate for 1–2 hours before serving.

Chilling helps thicken the whip and enhances the flavor.
