Yield and times

  • Yield: about 6 to 7 servings at half a cup each

  • Prep time: 10 minutes

  • Chill time: 1 to 2 hours

  • Total time: 1 hour 10 minutes including chilling

Tools you will need

  • Medium or large mixing bowl

  • Electric mixer or sturdy whisk

  • Rubber spatula

  • Measuring cups and spoons

  • Kitchen scale or teaspoon measure for cream cheese

  • Small containers or ramekins

  • Refrigerator

Ingredients

  • 2½ cups (about 600 ml) Fage 0% plain Greek yogurt

  • 1 ounce sugar-free fat-free cheesecake Jell-O mix

  • 3 ounces (about 85 g) Philadelphia cream cheese softened

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk if needed to loosen texture

  • Optional garnishes such as fresh berries, lemon zest, crushed graham cracker crumbs, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder

Step by step preparation

  1. Soften the cream cheese. Let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes or microwave briefly in short bursts until spreadable.

  2. Mix cream cheese with Jell-O powder. Beat together in the bowl until smooth and creamy.

  3. Add Greek yogurt. Blend slowly at first then increase to medium speed until the mixture is fully combined. Scrape the sides with a spatula to incorporate all the ingredients.

  4. Adjust consistency. If the mixture feels too thick, add almond milk one tablespoon at a time until smooth and spoonable.

  5. Portion and chill. Divide into half-cup servings and cover. Refrigerate for at least one hour.

  6. Serve. Enjoy as is or add your favorite garnish for an extra touch.

Tips for the perfect fluff

  • Always soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps.

  • An electric mixer creates the fluffiest result, but a hand whisk also works.

  • Do not add too much almond milk or the mixture will lose its structure.

  • Allow enough chilling time since this makes the texture creamier.

  • Taste and adjust with a little vanilla extract or low-calorie sweetener if you like it sweeter.

Variations and flavor ideas

  • Swirl in sugar-free raspberry or strawberry jam before chilling.

  • Add a teaspoon of lemon zest for a brighter cheesecake flavor.

  • Sprinkle crushed graham cracker crumbs on top to mimic cheesecake crust.

  • Mix in a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder for a chocolate version.

  • Use dairy-free yogurt and cream cheese alternatives for a plant-based option.

Storage and serving

  • Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.

  • Best texture within the first two days.

  • Do not freeze because freezing ruins the creamy consistency.

  • Serve straight from the fridge for maximum freshness.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a different yogurt?
Yes, but make sure it is plain nonfat Greek yogurt for the best balance of protein and creaminess.

Can I make this ahead for guests?
Definitely. Prepare up to a day in advance and garnish just before serving.

Can I omit the cream cheese?
You can, but the richness will not be the same. A lighter, tangier taste will result.

How do I make it sweeter?
Stir in a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a little zero-calorie sweetener.

What if I do not have cheesecake Jell-O mix?
The Jell-O provides both the cheesecake flavor and the stabilizer. If unavailable, use gelatin and a bit of vanilla or cheesecake flavor extract, though the result will differ slightly.

This recipe proves that dessert can be indulgent and light at the same time. The 1 Point 90 Calorie Cheesecake Fluff is simple, quick, and adaptable. Try it once, play with the variations, and it may become your go-to sweet treat when cravings strike.
