🍓✨ Strawberries & Cream Cloud Cups ☁️💗

A Low-Carb, High-Protein Dessert That Feels Like Falling in Love

🌸 Introduction

Some desserts don’t just satisfy a craving — they transport you. They float into your life like a soft kiss on the cheek or a whispered secret on a warm summer breeze. Strawberries & Cream Cloud Cups are exactly that: a dreamy, pillowy treat that feels indulgent but is, in truth, a bariatric-friendly, protein-packed powerhouse.

Born from the marriage of wellness and indulgence, this no-bake recipe is inspired by classic strawberry shortcake and the airy charm of cheesecake mousse. It’s perfect for anyone watching their sugar intake, living the low-carb lifestyle, or recovering post-bariatric surgery — but make no mistake: everyone will fall in love with this.

🍓 A Brief History of Strawberries & Cream

The pairing of strawberries and cream dates back to 16th-century England, believed to be introduced at a banquet by Thomas Wolsey, a powerful figure in the court of King Henry VIII. Over the centuries, this duo became iconic — simple, elegant, and evocative of romance.

Fast forward to today, and the flavor pairing remains a classic, reinvented in everything from cakes to smoothies. Our Cloud Cups are a modern, health-forward twist on that tradition — proof that even old-school romance can evolve with the times.

🥄 Ingredients (Makes 4 generous servings)

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat – blended until smooth & fluffy)
  • 2 tbsp sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix
  • 1–2 tbsp low-carb sweetener (monk fruit, allulose, or erythritol – adjust to taste)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (pure vanilla for best flavor)
  • ½ cup sugar-free whipped topping (like Truwhip Zero or homemade whipped cream)
  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • Optional garnish: mint leaves, crushed low-carb cookies, or an extra dollop of whip

🧁 Methodology & Formation

Step 1: Create the Cloud Base

In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth, thick, and airy — this forms your “cheesecake cloud” base.

💡 Tip: The smoother you blend the cottage cheese, the more mousse-like the texture becomes. No grainy curds allowed in cloudland!

Step 2: Incorporate the Cream

Gently fold in your sugar-free whipped topping using a spatula. The goal is to preserve that fluffiness — no harsh mixing here. Think of it as folding love into the mixture.

Step 3: Assemble with Care

In small jars, ramekins, or dessert cups, spoon a generous layer of the cloud mixture, then add a few chopped strawberries. Repeat if desired for a layered look. You can also swirl them gently for a marble effect.

Step 4: Chill & Serve

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors mingle and the texture set. Just before serving, garnish with an extra dollop of whipped topping, a mint leaf, or even a tiny sprinkle of crushed low-carb cookies.

💕 For Lovers: Share one cup with two spoons for a date-night dessert. Bonus points if you feed each other a bite.
