Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 2-3 tbsp sweetener (honey or stevia)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Soften the cream cheese to room temperature to ensure smooth blending. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese with Greek yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and uniform in consistency.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This whipped cream will add an airy, light texture key to the fluffiness of the dessert.
- Fold Ingredients Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, taking care to combine it evenly while preserving the whipped cream’s volume and fluffiness.
- Chill and Set: Transfer the combined mixture into 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.

- Chill the heavy whipping cream and bowl before whipping for best results.
- Gently fold the whipped cream to maintain the dessert’s airy consistency.
