- In a medium mixing bowl, ensure your cream cheese is thoroughly softened. This is crucial for achieving a smooth, lump-free fluff. You can leave it at room temperature for about an hour, or gently microwave it in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until it’s pliable but not melted.8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- In a separate, chilled bowl, pour in the cold heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer), beat the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This means that when you lift the beaters, the cream will hold its shape and stand straight up. Be careful not to over-whip, or you’ll end up with butter.1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- Add the powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using) to the softened cream cheese. Beat with the electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure all ingredients are incorporated. Taste the cream cheese mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary.8 ounces cream cheese, softened, 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener), 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
- Gradually add about half of the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold it in with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much. Repeat with the remaining whipped cream, folding until the mixture is uniform in color and texture, creating a light and airy fluff.1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, cold, 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- Once your cheesecake fluff is ready, it’s time to assemble. You can serve this in individual glasses, bowls, or as a single dessert. Spoon a layer of the cheesecake fluff into your serving dishes. Then, top with a generous layer of your sliced fresh strawberries. Continue layering the fluff and strawberries until your dishes are filled, ending with a beautiful layer of berries.8 ounces cream cheese, softened, 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- For the best flavor and texture, cover your Keto Cheesecake Fluff with Strawberries and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the fluff to set slightly. Garnish with an extra strawberry slice or a sprig of mint if desired.1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store fluff and strawberries separately for longer freshness.
