Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
- 4 oz low-fat or regular cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 tablespoons vanilla-flavored whey protein powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 Oreo Thins, finely crushed
- Whole Oreos for topping
Instructions
- Mix the base: In a medium bowl, use a handheld mixer on medium speed to beat the Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, instant vanilla pudding mix, vanilla-flavored whey protein powder, and pure vanilla extract. Continue mixing until medium peaks form, which should take about 2 minutes, giving the mixture a fluffy, creamy texture.
- Add crushed Oreos: Gently fold the finely crushed Oreo Thins into the mixture by beating just until combined, about 15 seconds more, ensuring the cookie pieces are evenly distributed throughout the cream base.
- Chill the mixture: Transfer the combined mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours to set and allow flavors to meld.
- Serve and garnish: After chilling, divide the cheesecake mixture into serving bowls and garnish each with whole Oreo cookies for an attractive presentation and added cookie crunch.
Notes
- For best results, use softened cream cheese to ensure smooth blending without lumps.
- You can substitute vanilla-flavored whey protein powder with unflavored or other flavors, but vanilla complements the Oreo flavor best.
- The dessert needs chilling time to set, so prepare ahead of time or at least 1 hour before serving.
- This recipe can be doubled easily to serve more guests.
- Use low-fat or regular cream cheese according to preference; low-fat will reduce calories slightly but may affect creaminess.
