Ingredients

Cheesecake Base

• 2 cups (450g) non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 cup (225g) low-fat cottage cheese
• 1 package (3.4 oz / 96g) Sugar-Free Cheesecake Instant Pudding Mix
• 1 cup (240ml) fat-free Fairlife milk (or any skim milk)
• 2 cups Lite Cool Whip, thawed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit

• 1½ cups strawberries, chopped
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 cup frozen mixed berries, slightly thawed

Topping

• ½ cup crushed graham crackers
• Extra strawberries and blueberries for garnish

Equipment

• Large mixing bowl
• Hand mixer or whisk
• Rubber spatula
• Measuring cups
• Serving cups

Instructions

Step 1

Place the Greek yogurt and cottage cheese into a large mixing bowl.

Mix until mostly smooth. For an extra creamy texture, blend the cottage cheese first using a blender or food processor.

Step 2

Pour the cold milk into the bowl.

Add the sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix.

Whisk continuously for about 2–3 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract.

Mix until fully incorporated.

The mixture should now have a rich cheesecake consistency.

Step 4

Gently fold the Lite Cool Whip into the cheesecake mixture using a spatula.

Avoid overmixing because you want to keep the mixture light and fluffy.

Step 5

Add the chopped strawberries.

Fold in the blueberries.

Finally, gently mix in the mixed berries.

Some berries will naturally release juice, creating beautiful purple swirls throughout the dessert.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.

Refrigerate for at least one hour.

Chilling allows the pudding mix to fully set while enhancing the cheesecake flavor.

Step 7

Spoon the mixture into serving cups.

Top each cup with crushed graham crackers.

Garnish with extra strawberries and blueberries.

Serve cold.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Do not freeze because the texture may become watery after thawing.
