I discovered this gem one evening when I had a sweet tooth but wanted something light and protein-rich. One experiment with cottage cheese and protein powder later, and now this fluff is a regular in my fridge. Bonus: even my non-gym friends ask for the recipe β itβs that good!
π Ingredients
- 1 container (16 oz) fat-free cottage cheese
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 8 crushed Oreo cookies
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (optional β adjust to taste)
- Β½ teaspoon vanilla extract
π¨βπ³ Step-by-Step Instructions
1οΈβ£ Blend it smooth:
Start by blending the cottage cheese in a high-speed blender or food processor until itβs silky smooth β no lumps allowed! This step turns cottage cheese from grainy to creamy, giving your dessert that perfect mousse-like texture.
2οΈβ£ Mix the base:
Transfer the smooth cottage cheese to a bowl. Stir in the vanilla protein powder, sweetener (if using), and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined. Your kitchen will start to smell amazing already.
3οΈβ£ Fold in the fun:
Now the magic moment β gently fold in the crushed Oreos. Donβt overmix! You want little crunchy bits in every bite.
4οΈβ£ Chill out:
Cover and let the fluff chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. It firms up slightly and lets the flavors blend beautifully.

β οΈ Common Mistakes to Avoid
β Skipping the blend:
Unblended cottage cheese will give you a weird texture. Smooth = satisfying. Trust the process.
β Oreos too soon:
If you add them while blending or too early, theyβll turn soggy. Always fold in last for that iconic crunch.
π₯ Serving Suggestion
π Top with fresh berries for a burst of color and natural sweetness! Strawberries and raspberries pair especially well with the cookies-and-cream flavor.
Want to impress guests? Serve it in mini dessert glasses with a half Oreo on top β fancy but still healthy.
