Creamy protein Oreo fluff delights dessert enthusiasts with its rich chocolate flavor and protein-packed goodness. Quick and easy preparation makes this treat perfect for health-conscious individuals seeking a guilt-free indulgence.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) plain Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese for extra protein)
- 1 scoop vanilla or cookies & cream protein powder
- ¼ cup (60 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk)
- 2 tbsps sugar-free pudding mix (vanilla or cheesecake flavor)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 cup light whipped topping (optional, for extra fluffiness)
- 4 Oreo cookies, crushed (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Mixing Preparation: Combine Greek yogurt, protein powder, instant pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl, whisking vigorously until a smooth, creamy blend develops with no visible lumps.
- Texture Enhancement: Gently fold crushed Oreo cookies into the mixture, purposefully leaving some larger cookie chunks to create an exciting textural dimension and provide delightful cookie bursts throughout the dessert.
- Whipped Integration: Softly incorporate light whipped topping, carefully folding to maintain the mixture’s airy consistency while ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Chilling and Setting: Transfer the creamy mixture into a serving dish, refrigerate for 20-25 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and the dessert to achieve an optimal, firm yet creamy texture.
- Final Presentation: Garnish the chilled dessert with additional crushed Oreo pieces, creating a visually appealing topping that adds a crunchy contrast to the smooth underlying base, serving immediately to enjoy the protein-packed treat at its peak deliciousness.
Notes
- Optimize Protein Powder: Choose a flavor-neutral or complementary protein powder to prevent overpowering the dessert’s delicate taste profile.
- Manage Cookie Texture: Crush Oreos unevenly to create varied cookie chunk sizes, ensuring some larger pieces remain for satisfying crunch and textural interest.
- Control Chilling Time: Refrigerate precisely 20-25 minutes; over-chilling can make the dessert too firm, while under-chilling prevents flavor melding and proper consistency.
- Customize Dietary Needs: Swap regular Oreos with gluten-free or low-sugar alternatives, use plant-based protein powder, and select lactose-free yogurt for adaptable nutrition options.
