Ingredients

Blueberry Protein Filling
2 cups (450g) low-fat cottage cheese
8 oz (225g) light cream cheese, softened
1½ cups plain non-fat Greek yogurt
2 scoops (60g) vanilla whey protein powder
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp lemon zest
2 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup honey or sugar-free maple syrup (adjust to taste)
1 packet (0.25 oz/7g) unflavored gelatin
3 tbsp cold water

Layers
40–45 vanilla wafer cookies (or high-protein vanilla cookies)
½ cup milk (for lightly dipping cookies, optional)
Topping
1 cup fresh blueberries
¼ cup white chocolate curls (optional)
Fresh mint leaves
Extra lemon zest

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Blueberries

If using frozen blueberries, thaw and drain excess liquid. Reserve a handful of whole berries for garnish.

Step 2: Bloom the Gelatin

Mix gelatin with cold water and let stand for 5 minutes. Microwave for 10–15 seconds until dissolved.

Step 3: Blend the Filling

In a blender combine:

Cottage cheese
Cream cheese
Greek yogurt
Vanilla protein powder
Blueberries
Honey
Lemon juice
Lemon zest
Vanilla

Blend until completely smooth.

Step 4: Add Gelatin

Slowly blend the dissolved gelatin into the filling until fully incorporated.

Step 5: Prepare the Dish

Lightly grease or line a 9×9-inch glass baking dish.

Step 6: First Cookie Layer

Arrange vanilla wafers across the bottom. Lightly dip them in milk if you prefer a softer texture.

Step 7: First Filling Layer

Spread one-third of the blueberry mixture evenly over the cookies.

Step 8: Repeat

Add another cookie layer followed by another layer of filling.

Step 9: Final Layer

Finish with a final layer of cookies and spread the remaining blueberry filling over the top until smooth.

Step 10: Decorate

Top with:

Fresh blueberries
White chocolate curls
Lemon zest
Fresh mint

Just like the picture, the dessert should have a creamy purple top generously decorated with whole blueberries and white chocolate shavings.

Step 11: Chill

Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 12: Serve

Slice into squares using a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts.

Tips

Blend the cottage cheese thoroughly for an ultra-smooth cheesecake texture.
Overnight chilling gives the cleanest slices.
Fresh blueberries provide the best appearance for the topping.
A squeeze of fresh lemon brightens the blueberry flavor.
Freeze for 30 minutes before slicing if you want perfectly neat squares.
For extra protein, use high-protein vanilla sandwich cookies instead of regular wafers.

Storage
Refrigerator: Up to 4 days.
Freezer: Up to 2 months. Thaw overnight before serving.
