How To Make Keto Cheesecake Fluff
You can easily prepare this in approximately five minutes. The only challenge might arise if you choose to whip the cream manually. While it is feasible, I suggest using an electric mixer to streamline the process and conserve time and energy.
- Step One: Whip the heavy whipping cream in a stand mixer until stiff peaks form, then transfer it to a separate bowl.
- Step Two: Blend the cream cheese and sweetener until fluffy. Add ⅓ of the homemade whipped cream and mix. Optional: At this point, you can incorporate vanilla extract if desired.
- Step Three: Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream into the cheesecake fluff mixture. Once thoroughly combined, portion into serving bowls and savor. Add your preferred berries as a topping or enjoy it plain.
What Toppings Can Enhance This?
To begin with, you can enjoy the keto cheesecake fluff in its pure form without any additional toppings. However, if you desire an extra layer of indulgence, feel free to explore the following options:
- Sugar-Free Caramel Sauce – Crafting my own caramel sauce is a personal favorite. Its irresistibly good flavor often tempts me to lick the bowl without any reservations.
- Chocolate – Elevate the fluff with sugar-free chocolate chips or crushed chocolate. It not only adds visual appeal but also satisfies your sweet cravings. Alternatively, if you have a low-carb chocolate sauce, that would be a great addition.
- Fruit Flavorings – Whether incorporating fresh berries or opting for something like my Creamy Lemon Dessert Sauce, the possibilities are endless. A few fresh berries or a drizzle of sauce can elevate the experience. For a delightful strawberry cheesecake flavor, consider blending strawberry puree with the cream cheese.
- Zest – Introduce a burst of citrus flavor by mixing in fresh lemon zest or lime zest.
- Nuts – Sprinkle your favorite nuts on top, such as almonds, walnuts, or even candied pecans, for a delightful crispy texture.
- Coconut – For coconut enthusiasts, adding toasted coconut on top enhances both the flavor and texture.
- Peanut Butter – For a unique twist, incorporate a spoonful of peanut butter into the cream cheese for a delightful peanut butter cheesecake fluff.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Powdered Erythritol Necessary?
Yes, it’s crucial to use powdered erythritol instead of granulated. Granulated erythritol may result in a grainy texture that is less appealing. While it might still turn out okay, I don’t recommend it. My preference is for an extra creamy and fluffy cheesecake fluff, and granulated sweetener doesn’t achieve that desired outcome.
Do I Have to Refrigerate Keto Cheesecake Fluff Before Eating?
You have the flexibility to enjoy the cheesecake fluff immediately after preparation or refrigerate it for a few hours before consumption. Often, I prefer making it in advance and taking it out of the fridge when ready to eat. Both methods yield satisfactory results, so the choice is entirely yours.
Does Keto Cheesecake Fluff Have the Same Taste as Traditional Cheesecake?
Essentially, this easy fluff provides the essence of cheesecake filling without the crust. It delivers the familiar taste of low-carb cheesecakes—super creamy and velvety. The primary distinction lies in the sweetener. While traditional cheesecake fluff recipes use regular sugar, we opt for powdered erythritol to maintain a low-carb profile.
