Recipe FAQ
How to store this cheesecake fluff
If you don’t eat the entire mixing bowl (like I usually want to), you can store this cheesecake fluff in an airtight container with the lid in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Can I use fat-free Greek yogurt or cream cheese?
Yes, you can! I like to use full fat Greek yogurt for max creaminess and flavor, but both will work just fine. If you prefer fat-free cream cheese you can use that too.
