Description
A light, creamy, no-bake dessert that blends the richness of cheesecake with the freshness of strawberries. Perfect for potlucks, holidays, and easy weeknight treats, this fluff holds its shape beautifully and gets better with a short chill.
Ingredients
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.75 cup powdered sugar
1.25 cups heavy whipping cream
2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
2. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a wide spatula.
4. Fold in the diced strawberries just until evenly distributed—do not overmix.
5. If using, gently fold in the sour cream or Greek yogurt for added tang.
6. Transfer the fluff to a serving dish, cover, and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
7. Garnish with extra berries or mint before serving if desired.
8. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Notes
Use full-fat brick cream cheese for the best texture and stability.
Chill the dessert for at least an hour to help the flavors meld and the structure set.
Avoid overmixing after adding strawberries to preserve fluffiness and prevent wateriness.
