Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Fluff Base:
1 cup (225g) Non-fat or 2% Plain Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp (30g) Light cream cheese or whipped cottage cheese, softened
1 scoop (25–30g) Vanilla or Cheesecake flavored protein powder (whey/casein blend works best for thickness)
1/2 cup Fresh or frozen wild blueberries (mushed or blended into a purée)
1–2 tbsp Zero-calorie sweetener (monk fruit, erythritol, or stevia to taste)
1/2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
For the Toppings:
1/4 cup Fresh whole blueberries
1 sheet (or 2 square pieces) Low-sugar Graham Crackers, crushed
1 tbsp Freeze-dried blueberry powder or freeze-dried blueberry pieces (for texture and color)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Berry Base
1. In a small bowl, lightly mash 1/2 cup of fresh or thawed blueberries with a fork until juicy and smooth.
Step 2: Whip the High-Protein Cream
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese (or cottage cheese), protein powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt.
2. Use an electric hand mixer or whisk vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes until the protein powder is completely dissolved and the mixture becomes thick and fluffy.
3. Gently fold in the mashed blueberries to create a beautiful purple cheesecake swirl.
Step 3: Assemble & Garnish
1. Transfer the cheesecake fluff into a serving bowl.
2. Top with fresh whole blueberries, crushed graham cracker pieces, and a sprinkle of freeze-dried blueberry dust for that signature crunch.
3. Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes for a firmer, ice-cream-like consistency.
Pro Tips for Perfect Fluff Consistency
Choose the Right Protein Powder: Casein protein or a Whey-Casein blend absorbs liquid much better than pure whey isolate, resulting in a significantly thicker, cheesecake-like pudding texture.
Cottage Cheese Swap: If you prefer a richer flavor, swap the cream cheese for blended low-fat cottage cheese—it adds extra protein while maintaining a super creamy mouthfeel.
Make It Meal-Prep Friendly: Double or triple the recipe in sealable glass jars for up to 4 days of pre-portioned, high-protein desserts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes! Frozen blueberries work fantastically well. Thaw them slightly in the microwave for 15 seconds before mashing so they release their natural juices into the fluff.
How do I make this gluten-free?
Simply replace the standard graham crackers with gluten-free graham crackers or crushed almond meal/keto cookie crumbs for the topping.
