Essential Kitchen Equipment
High-Speed Blender or Food Processor: Essential for whipping the cottage cheese into a smooth, curd-free mousse.
4 Glass Mason Jars (12 to 16 oz): For clean, layered storage.
Ingredients
For the Lemon Fluff Base:
2 cups Cottage cheese (2% or full-fat for best texture)
1 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
2 scoops (60g) Vanilla whey protein powder
2 tbsp Sugar-free lemon pudding mix (or 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice)
1 tbsp Fresh lemon zest
2 tbsp Sugar-free liquid sweetener (like Monkfruit or Stevia)
For the Blueberry Layer & Base:
1 cup Fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
1/2 cup Keto-friendly graham cracker crumbs (or almond flour mixed with a pinch of cinnamon and sweetener)
1 tbsp Melted butter or coconut oil (to bind the crumbs)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Base: In a small bowl, mix the keto graham crumbs with the melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Divide the mixture evenly among the bottoms of your 4 jars, pressing down lightly.
2. Blend the Lemon Fluff: Add the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, sugar-free lemon pudding mix, lemon zest, and sweetener to a high-speed blender. Blend for 60 to 90 seconds until completely silky and thick.
3. Layer the Jars: Spoon a layer of the lemon cheesecake fluff over the crumb base in each jar. Add a layer of fresh blueberries, then top with the remaining lemon fluff.
4. Garnish & Chill: Top each jar with a few extra blueberries and a pinch of fresh lemon zest. Seal with lids and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to let the fluff firm up into a thick cheesecake texture.
Chef’s Tips
Warm the Berries: For a jam-like swirl, microwave half of your blueberries for 30 seconds and mash them slightly before layering them into the jars!
Perfect Consistency: If your blender is struggling to get the mixture moving, add just 1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk to help it blend without thinning it out too much.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw and drain them well before layering so they don’t release too much water and thin out your creamy lemon fluff. These jars will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days.
