Keto Cheesecake Fluff (Printable View)

Decadent creamy low-carb dessert with classic cheesecake flavors and airy texture, ready in just 10 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
02 - 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
03 - 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
04 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
05 - Zest of 1 lemon, optional

→ Topping

06 - 1/4 cup fresh berries such as raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries
07 - 1 tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts

# How-To Steps:

01 - Place softened cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat until completely smooth and creamy, approximately 2 minutes.
02 - Add powdered erythritol and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Continue beating on medium-high speed until fully incorporated and no sweetener granules remain visible, about 1 minute.
03 - While mixer runs on medium-low speed, gradually drizzle in heavy whipping cream. Increase speed to high and continue whipping until mixture becomes light, airy, and holds soft peaks, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Fold in lemon zest if using.
04 - Divide cheesecake fluff evenly among four dessert glasses or serving bowls. Top with fresh berries and chopped nuts if desired. Serve immediately for a mousse-like texture, or refrigerate for up to 48 hours for a firmer consistency.
