Ingredients:

- 1 small package of sugar-free strawberry Jell-O mix
- 3-4 tablespoons hot water
- Optional: ½ pound strawberries, sweetener of choice (for homemade strawberry jam), cinnamon, splash of lemon juice
Instructions:
- Begin by preparing the sugar-free strawberry Jell-O mix according to package instructions. In a separate bowl, combine the Jell-O mix with 3-4 tablespoons of hot water, creating a slight paste consistency. Set aside.
- In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, yogurt, and prepared strawberry Jell-O mixture. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- If opting for homemade strawberry jam, combine sliced strawberries, sweetener, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a pan over low to medium heat. Cook until the strawberries break down and form a jam-like consistency. Allow the strawberry jam to cool before adding it to the blender with the other ingredients.
- Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, adjusting sweetness to taste if necessary.
- Pour the strawberry cheesecake fluff into a serving dish or individual bowls, distributing evenly.
- Refrigerate the fluff for at least 1-2 hours to allow it to set and chill.
- Once chilled, serve the strawberry cheesecake fluff with fresh berries or sugar-free graham crackers for added texture and flavor. Optionally, top with sugar-free whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
