Ingredients

For the Raspberry Cheesecake Fluff:

• 1 cup (225 g) low-fat cottage cheese

• 1 cup (225 g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt

• 1 scoop (30 g) vanilla protein powder

• 1 package (about 28 g) sugar-free cheesecake instant pudding mix

• 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)

• 1–2 tablespoons powdered sweetener (optional)

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk, if needed

• ½ cup light whipped topping (optional, for extra fluffiness)

For the Topping:

• ½ cup fresh raspberries

• 2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers (optional)

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped almonds or pistachios (optional)

• A little whipped topping

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Raspberry Base

Wash and gently dry the raspberries. Set aside a few whole berries for decoration. Mash the remaining raspberries with a fork or blend them briefly.

Step 2: Blend the Cottage Cheese

Add cottage cheese to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, with no visible curds.

Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Mixture

Add Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix, vanilla extract, and powdered sweetener to the blended cottage cheese.

Blend until smooth and thick.

Step 4: Add the Raspberries

Fold the mashed raspberries into the cheesecake mixture. Mix gently until the dessert becomes a beautiful pink color with little raspberry pieces throughout.

Step 5: Make It Fluffy

Gently fold in the light whipped topping using a spatula. Avoid overmixing so the dessert stays light and airy.

If the mixture is too thick, add a little almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 6: Chill

Spoon the raspberry cheesecake fluff into four individual serving cups.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop and the mixture to firm up.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Top each cup with fresh raspberries, a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers, chopped nuts (if desired), and a little whipped topping.

Serve chilled and enjoy!
