Cooking Time & Servings
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Chill Time (optional): 10 minutes
- Total Time: ~15 minutes
- Servings: 2 parfaits
Ingredients
- 1 cup (225g) low-fat cottage cheese or plain Greek yogurt
- 2 oz (60g) light cream cheese (softened)
- 1–2 tbsp honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free sweetener (to taste)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup fresh blueberries (or thawed frozen)
- Optional toppings: crushed graham crackers, high-protein granola, chia seeds, or extra blueberries
How to Make (Step-by-Step)
- Blend Base – In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese/Greek yogurt, cream cheese, honey/sweetener, and vanilla. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Layer Parfait – Spoon a layer of the cheesecake mixture into glasses or bowls.
- Add Blueberries – Scatter fresh blueberries (or thawed frozen) over the first layer.
- Repeat – Add another layer of cheesecake cream, then top with more blueberries.
- Chill & Serve – For best texture, refrigerate 10–15 minutes before serving. Add toppings right before enjoying.
Notes
- Make it higher protein: Use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese and add a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
- Lower sugar: Swap honey for monk fruit, stevia, or allulose.
- Dairy-free option: Use dairy-free yogurt and vegan cream cheese.
- Texture tip: For extra creaminess, use full-fat versions of dairy.
