Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Cream Cheese (softened, about 8 oz)
- Greek Yogurt (1 cup)
- Protein Powder (vanilla or unflavored, 1/2 cup)
- Sweetener (honey or stevia, 2-3 tbsp)
- Vanilla Extract (1 tsp)
- Lemon Juice (1 tbsp)
- Heavy Whipping Cream (1 cup)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Soften the cream cheese to room temperature for smooth blending. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese with Greek yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a creamy and uniform consistency.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. This whipped cream provides the airy, light texture essential to the fluff.
- Fold Ingredients Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Take care to combine evenly without deflating the whipped cream, maintaining the fluffiness of the dessert.
- Chill and Set: Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or individual containers. Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up slightly, enhancing the overall taste and mouthfeel.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps and achieve a silky texture.
- Use a high-quality protein powder with mild flavor for best taste results.
- Whip heavy cream fresh for optimum fluffiness and texture.
- Fold whipped cream gently to maintain lightness and airiness in the final product.
- Do not skip the chilling step; it improves flavor blending and texture stability.
