Strawberries: Use fresh strawberries for the brightest flavor, and dry them thoroughly before chopping.
For stronger cheesecake flavor: Add an extra ½ teaspoon of lemon juice or ¼ teaspoon lemon zest.
For more protein: Choose Greek yogurt and protein powder with higher protein content.
For extra crunch: Add a small amount of crushed sugar-free graham-style crumbs immediately before serving.
For a stronger strawberry flavor: Blend ½ cup of the strawberries into the cheesecake base and fold the remaining strawberries in afterward.
Allergy note: This recipe contains milk/dairy and may contain allergens depending on the protein powder and whipped topping.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes, but thaw and drain them very thoroughly because excess water can make the fluff too thin.
2. Can I make this without protein powder?
Yes, although removing the protein powder will reduce the protein content and may make the fluff slightly softer.
3. Can I use full-fat cream cheese?
Yes, full-fat cream cheese will produce a richer texture but will increase the calories and fat per serving.
4. How long should the fluff chill?
Refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, although 3–4 hours will give it a thicker, more cheesecake-like consistency.
5. Can I prepare it the night before?
Yes, preparing it the night before works very well and allows the strawberry and cheesecake flavors to blend.
6. Is Strawberry Cheesecake Fluff keto-friendly?
Not strictly, because the strawberries contribute carbohydrates; with approximately 9g net carbs per serving, it is better described as a lower-carb dessert rather than a keto recipe.
