Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
- 4 oz low-fat or regular cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 tbsp vanilla-flavored whey protein powder
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 6 Oreo Thins, finely crushed
- Whole Oreos for topping
Instructions
- Beat the Base Mixture: In a medium bowl, use a handheld mixer on medium speed to beat the plain Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, instant vanilla pudding mix, vanilla-flavored whey protein powder, and pure vanilla extract together. Continue mixing until medium peaks form, which should take about 2 minutes.
- Add Crushed Oreos: Gently fold in the finely crushed Oreo Thins and beat for an additional 15 seconds just to combine the ingredients evenly without breaking down the cookie pieces too much.
- Refrigerate to Set: Transfer the mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour, up to 3 hours, until the cheesecake-like texture is set and firm.
- Serve and Garnish: Once set, scoop the mixture into individual serving bowls and garnish each with whole Oreos on top for added crunch and presentation.
Notes
- Use whole milk Greek yogurt for creamier texture; low-fat works but will alter richness slightly.
- Choose low-fat or regular cream cheese depending on your preference for fat content.
- Instant vanilla pudding mix helps thicken and add flavor without baking.
- Vanilla-flavored whey protein complements taste and boosts protein content.
- Crushed Oreo Thins add texture; whole Oreos enhance garnish and presentation.
- Chill time is essential for setting the cheesecake bowl; do not skip refrigeration.
