Ingredients For the Oreo Fluff

• 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 cup light whipped topping, thawed
• 1 (1-ounce) package sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

For the Mix-Ins

• 6 reduced-fat Oreo-style sandwich cookies, crushed

Optional Toppings

• Extra crushed Oreo-style cookies
• Light whipped topping
• Sugar-free white chocolate shavings
• Mini sugar-free chocolate chips
• Fresh strawberries or raspberries

Instructions

1. Add the cottage cheese to a blender or food processor and blend for 1–2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy.
2. Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a large mixing bowl.
3. Add the Greek yogurt, sugar-free vanilla pudding mix, vanilla extract, and almond milk.
4. Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined.
5. Fold in the light whipped topping using a rubber spatula until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Be careful not to overmix so the fluff stays airy.
6. Gently stir in most of the crushed Oreo-style cookies, reserving a small amount for topping.
7. Divide the mixture evenly into six dessert cups, small jars, or ramekins.
8. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.
9. Sprinkle the reserved crushed cookies evenly over each cup.
10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the pudding to set and the flavors to blend.
11. Before serving, top with a dollop of light whipped topping, extra cookie crumbs, or a few sugar-free chocolate chips if desired.
12. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

Tips, Notes & Q&A

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt?
Yes! Vanilla Greek yogurt adds a little extra sweetness, but plain Greek yogurt keeps the sugar content lower and allows you to control the flavor.
Can I increase the protein even more?
Absolutely. Blend one scoop of vanilla or cookies-and-cream protein powder into the mixture. If it becomes too thick, simply add a splash of almond milk until smooth.
Can I make it without cottage cheese?
Yes. Substitute additional Greek yogurt or blended light ricotta cheese, although cottage cheese provides the highest protein content and a wonderfully creamy texture once blended.
How long does it last?
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making these cups perfect for meal prep.
Can I freeze them?
Yes. Freeze individual portions for up to 1 month. Allow them to thaw for 10–15 minutes before eating for a frozen mousse-like dessert.
