FAQs
Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain Greek yogurt?
It’s best to use plain Greek yogurt to control the sweetness and flavor. Flavored yogurt may alter the taste and texture of the fluff.
Is this dessert suitable for people watching their sugar intake?
You can reduce or omit the honey to lower sugar content. The natural tartness of the yogurt and lemon juice keeps the fluff flavorful even with less sweetener.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1–2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1–2 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, add 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 2 oz of softened cream cheese, 1-2 teaspoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1-2 tablespoons of honey to the bowl. This mixture forms the base of your cheesecake fluff.
- Mix Thoroughly: Use a whisk or a hand mixer to blend all the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Using a hand mixer will incorporate air and give your fluff a lighter, fluffier texture.
- Serve or Chill: You can serve the fluff immediately if you prefer a softer texture. Alternatively, chill it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly for a more set, dessert-like consistency before serving.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your taste.
- Softening the cream cheese fully before mixing helps achieve a smoother texture.
- The lemon juice provides a subtle tang reminiscent of cheesecake, but can be adjusted or omitted if preferred.
- Serve with fresh berries or a sprinkle of nuts for added flavor and texture.
