🍒 Keto Cherry Cheesecake Fluff
Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup powdered erythritol (or monk fruit, to taste)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 teaspoons lemon juice (optional, for tang)
- ½ cup cherry-flavored gelatin (sugar-free, like Jell-O), prepared and chilled
- Optional: ¼ cup chopped frozen or fresh cherries, unsweetened & pitted (keep it minimal for low-carb)
- Optional topping: dollop of sugar-free whipped cream and a cherry on top
Instructions:
- Whip the cream cheese:
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. - Add sweetener and flavor:
Add powdered erythritol, vanilla, and lemon juice (if using). Mix well to combine. - Whip the cream separately:
In a second bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. - Fold it together:
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and airy. - Add cherry flavor:
Break up the prepared cherry gelatin and fold it gently into the fluff mixture. For extra cherry bits, stir in a few chopped unsweetened cherries (optional and portion-controlled). - Chill and serve:
Scoop into serving cups or bowls. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving for best texture. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a cherry if desired.
Tips & Variations:
- Ultra-low carb: Skip real cherries and rely solely on the sugar-free gelatin for flavor.
- More texture? Add chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.
- Need dairy-free? Use coconut cream and a vegan cream cheese alternative.
- Make it pretty: Layer in jars with crushed keto cookies for a parfait-style dessert!
