INGREDIENT NOTES:

Greek Yogurt:

Light Cream Cheese:

  • Replace it with Neufchâtel or low-fat cream cheese. Allow it to settle at room temperature. This assists it in mixing well.

Pudding sugar-free mix:

  • This assists the mixture to thicken and adds some cheesecake flavor to it. Vanilla is better, but lemon is nice as well.

Sweetener:

  • Use a sweetener with no calories, like monk fruit or stevia, in its place. Add, depending on where you prefer your fluffs, more sugar on the sweet side, less sugar on the unsweet side.
