Ingredients

  • Fat-free Greek yogurt
  • Fat-free cream cheese
  • Sugar-free vanilla pudding mix
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla extract
  • Zero-calorie sweetener (such as monk fruit or stevia)
  • Baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line an 8-inch baking pan or springform pan with parchment paper, ensuring the sides are covered for easy removal.

Step 2: Mix the Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine the fat-free cream cheese and fat-free Greek yogurt. Beat until completely smooth and free of lumps. This step is essential for achieving the cloud-like texture.

Step 3: Add Eggs and Flavoring

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and zero-calorie sweetener. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and airy.

Step 4: Incorporate Dry Ingredients

Sprinkle in the sugar-free vanilla pudding mix, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Fold gently until just combined. The pudding mix helps stabilize the pie and gives it its signature soft structure.

Step 5: Pour and Smooth

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Lightly tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Avoid overbaking, as the pie will firm up as it cools.

Step 7: Cool Slowly

Turn off the oven and allow the pie to cool inside with the door slightly open for 20 minutes. This gradual cooling helps prevent cracking.

Step 8: Chill

Transfer the pie to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Chilling enhances the flavor and gives the pie its melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Texture and Flavor Notes

This pie is exceptionally soft and creamy, with a delicate vanilla flavor that is not overly sweet. The texture is somewhere between a cheesecake and a soufflé, making each bite light yet satisfying.

Serving Suggestions

Serve chilled for best results. Enjoy it plain or add zero-point toppings such as fresh berries or a dusting of powdered zero-calorie sweetener. The pie slices cleanly once fully chilled and holds its shape beautifully.

Storage

Store the Vanilla Cloud Pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It is not recommended for freezing, as freezing may alter the delicate texture.
