Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Fluff Base:
1 1/2 cups Cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
1 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 scoop (30g) Vanilla protein powder
1 tbsp Sugar-free cheesecake instant pudding mix
1 tsp Vanilla extract
2 tbsp Granulated sweetener (like Monkfruit or Swerve)
For the Strawberry Layer & Topping:
1 cup Fresh strawberries (diced)
2 tbsp Sugar-free strawberry jam or syrup
2 whole Graham crackers (crushed into crumbs)
Strawberry slices & sugar-free whipped cream (for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Blend the Fluff Base: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix, vanilla extract, and sweetener. Blend on high speed for 60 to 90 seconds until silky smooth and lump-free.
2. Fold in Strawberries: Transfer the cheesecake fluff into a large bowl. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries and sugar-free strawberry jam to create a marble swirl.
3. Layer the Jars: Sprinkle a layer of crushed graham crackers at the bottom of 4 mason jars. Spoon the strawberry cheesecake fluff evenly on top.
4. Garnish & Chill: Top each jar with extra fresh strawberry slices, a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs, and a dollop of whipped cream.
5. Serve: Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the fluff firm into a rich mousse texture.
Chef’s Tips
Blend Until Completely Smooth: Whipping the cottage cheese long enough is key to getting rid of all curd texture and achieving that thick, cheesecake-like consistency.
Keto/Ultra Low-Carb Option: Swap the crushed graham crackers for crushed toasted almonds or pecan crumbs to cut down net carbs even further!
