A creamy, fluffy, fruity dessert made with Greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whipped topping, and fresh berries. It’s light, protein-rich, and perfect for meal prep or a healthy sweet treat.
Ingredients
Cream Base
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (0% or low-fat, like Fage)
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup light whipped topping (like Cool Whip Lite)
- ½ cup cream cheese (optional for richness)
- 1–2 tbsp sugar-free vanilla pudding mix or cheesecake Jell-O mix
- 2–4 tbsp Fairlife milk (or any milk, to adjust texture)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Fruit Layer
- 1 cup strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup blueberries
- ½ cup raspberries or mixed berries
Toppings (optional)
- Crushed low-carb granola
- Peanut butter drizzle
- Extra whipped topping
- Crushed nuts (almonds or peanuts)
Instructions
Step 1: Blend the Cream Base
In a large bowl (or blender for smoother texture), mix:
- Greek yogurt
- Cottage cheese
- Whipped topping
- Cream cheese (if using)
- Pudding mix
- Vanilla extract
- Milk (add slowly until creamy consistency)
Mix until smooth and fluffy.
Step 2: Add Texture (Optional)
For a chunkier “berry cheesecake fluff”, lightly fold instead of fully blending.
Step 3: Add Berries
Gently fold in most of the berries, saving some for topping.
This keeps the dessert colourful and layered.
Step 4: Assemble Cups
Spoon mixture into serving cups or jars.
Layer like this:
- Cream mixture
- Fresh berries
- Optional granola
- Repeat if desired
Step 5: Chill
Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes so it sets and becomes thicker and fluffier.

Q&A
Is this really zero-carb?
No. Berries, dairy, and pudding mix contain natural carbs. It is low-carb, not zero-carb.
Can I make it without Cool Whip?
Yes. Replace with extra Greek yoghurt or homemade whipped cream.
Can I meal prep it?
Yes, store them in airtight containers for up to 3 days in the fridge.
Can I use frozen fruit?
Yes, but thaw and drain to avoid a watery texture.
Can I make it keto-friendly?
Yes: use full-fat dairy and sugar-free pudding mix and limit berries.
