Step 1: Add the Creamy Ingredients

Add 1 cup Greek yogurt and 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese to a high-speed blender or food processor.

Adding these creamy ingredients first helps the blades begin creating a smooth base.

Step 2: Add the Pumpkin

Add 1 cup pumpkin puree.

Make sure you’re using plain pumpkin puree rather than sweetened pumpkin pie filling.

Step 3: Add the Flavorings 🎃

Add:

• 2 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

These ingredients transform the creamy base into a warmly spiced pumpkin cheesecake-inspired mixture.

Step 4: Blend Until Completely Smooth

Blend for approximately 1 to 2 minutes.

Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor as necessary.

Continue blending until the cottage cheese curds have disappeared and the mixture looks smooth, creamy, and fluffy.

Don’t stop blending too early. Thorough blending is one of the most important steps for achieving the desired cheesecake-fluff texture.

Step 5: Add the Optional Cheesecake Pudding Mix

For a thicker consistency, add 2 tablespoons sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix.

Pulse or blend briefly until completely incorporated.

The mixture may continue thickening as it rests in the refrigerator.

Step 6: Taste and Adjust

Taste the pumpkin mixture.

If desired, adjust it with a little additional:

• Cinnamon
• Pumpkin pie spice
• Maple syrup

Make small adjustments so the pumpkin and cheesecake-inspired flavors remain balanced.

Step 7: Divide Into Portions

Divide the mixture evenly between 4 small serving bowls or jars.

Individual containers are particularly convenient when making the recipe for meal prep.

Step 8: Chill ❄️

Cover the containers and refrigerate for at least 30 to 60 minutes.

Chilling gives the mixture time to become thicker and allows the pumpkin, vanilla, maple, and warm spices to blend together.

For the thickest texture, serve the fluff well chilled.

Step 9: Add Toppings and Serve

Just before serving, garnish with your preferred toppings.

Try:

• A dusting of cinnamon
• Chopped pecans
• A small amount of crushed graham cracker
• A dollop of whipped cream

Serve chilled with a spoon.
