We don’t always eat dessert, but most nights we want something that is sweet after dinner. When I don’t plan ahead, this keto cheesecake fluff is always a great option. I don’t have to plan ahead to make it, and the kids even love it too. It is one of my all-time favorite easy keto recipes. I'll even make a batch just for myself and divide it between small mason jars so I can one right out the fridge.
I spend a lot of time in my kitchen. Between keeping my family fed of 8 and working on recipes for my blog, I am always making something. I love what I do and I’ve been able to create some of the best foods. I am blessed to be able to share these with you!
How To Make Keto Cheesecake Fluff
You really can make this in about five minutes. The only problem would be if you decide to whip your cream by hand. It is certainly possible but I recommend using an electric mixer to save on time and energy.
First Step: Mix the heavy whipping cream in a stand mixer until you see stiff peaks then transfew it into another bowl.
Second Step: Combine the cream cheese and sweetener together until they are fluffy. Pour in ⅓ of the homemade whipped cream and combine.
Optional: at this point, you can add some vanilla extract if you like.
Third Step: Fold in the rest of the whipped cream to the cheesecake fluff mixture. Once combined, put in serving bowls and enjoy. Top with favorite berries or eat plain.
Expert Tip: To make this look fancy just put it into a piping bag with a star tip and pipe it into bowls instead of spooning it in.
Do I Need To Chill Keto Cheesecake Fluff Before Eating?
You can eat the cheesecake fluff right away after preparing it if you want. Or you can refrigerate it for a few hours before eating. A lot of times, I will make it in advance and remove it from the fridge when we are ready to eat it. It’s completely up to you, but both ways work well.
Do I Have To Use Powdered Erythritol?
Yes, the erythritol needs to be powdered instead of granulated. Otherwise, the texture is going to be very grainy and not as appealing. If you opt to use granulated, it may turn out okay, but I don’t recommend it. I prefer my cheesecake fluff to be extra creamy and fluffy, so granulated just doesn’t give me that result.
What Can I Top This With?
First of all, you can totally eat the keto cheesecake fluff the way it is and with nothing on top. But if you want something a little bit “extra” go ahead and add some toppings.
- Sugar Free Caramel Sauce - I love to make my own caramel sauce. I could lick the bowl without any reservations because it’s so insanely good.
- Chocolate - Add some sugar-free chocolate chips or crushed chocolate on top. It’s pretty and cures your sweet tooth. If you have a low carb chocolate sauce, that will work too.
- Fruit Flavorings - Whether you add fresh berries or you want something like my Creamy Lemon Dessert Sauce, you can’t go wrong. Just add a few fresh berries or drizzle some sauce on top. For a strawberry cheesecake flavor throughout mix some strawberry puree in with the cream cheese.
- Zest - I love mixing in a little fresh lemon zest or lime zest for a citrus flavor.
- Nuts - Sprinkle a few of your favorite nuts on top like almonds, walnuts, or even candied pecans. That crispy texture is heavenly.
- Coconut - If you are a fan of coconut, you should add some toasted coconut on top. Yum!
- Peanut Butter - Mix a spoonful of peanut butter in with the cream cheese for a peanut butter cheesecake fluff!
There are plenty of ingredients that will pair nicely with this keto cheesecake fluffy. Feel free to add whatever you like or use a combination of tasty toppings to add to cheesecake fluff.
OR mix things up and make my pumpkin version of this recipe: Keto Pumpkin Mousse!
Does Keto Cheesecake Fluff Taste Like Actual Cheesecake?
Yes, basically you will be getting the cheesecake filling without the cheesecake crust with this easy fluff. It tastes like other low carb cheesecakes and is super creamy and velvety. The main difference is the sweetener. Traditional cheesecake fluff recipes are loaded with regular sugar, but we wanted something low carb, so we use powdered erythritol instead.
You can also incorporate this into other desserts like a keto trifle!

Is it okay to use whipped cream cheese? I’ve tried using blocks and it is never smooth.
Taryn says
Sure!
Elise says
This recipe is so great because it’s so easy and quick! Plus delicious! Sometimes I have it with sugar free cherry jello for a cherry cheesecake flavor!
Melanie Harper says
Soooo yummy but just how much is considered a serving size so I can get correct nutrition. I only eat this by the spoonful - 1/4 c at the most
Taryn says
A serving is about 4 ounces.
J. Schneider says
Can I substitute regular powdered sugar for the powdered erythritol?
Taryn says
Sure
Valerie says
Light and fluffy.
I only used 1/4 cup of Swerve confectioners sugar and it was the perfect amount of sweet for me.
DebCagle says
Ever since starting keto I’ve had to give up my favorite birthday dessert fruit pizza. I’ve been racking my brain as to make this dessert keto friendly. Do you think this recipe would work for the marshmallow cream and cream cheese topping? I can figure out a non-sugar sugar cookie crust I just need the topping and berries. Thanks!
Taryn says
Yup! You can also take a look at my fruit pizza cookies 🙂 https://joyfilledeats.com/mini-fruit-pizza-cookies/
Cindy says
I can't have heavy whipping cream I normally use coconut cream will that work
Taryn says
I'm not sure, sorry. I've seen recipes for whipped coconut cream but have never tried it.
Leslie says
Insanely delicious!
Kathi says
Would this work with fat free Half and Half? My husband needs low carb because he is diabetic and he also needs to watch his fat intake because of his cholesterol.
Taryn says
No, sorry. You can't whip fat-free half and half. You need to be able to whip it to become light and fluffy.
Christine says
Made this with swerve. It was awesome. I might use powdered sugar instead of granular next time. There was a little crunch from the granular sugar.
Alicia nunn says
This is delicious..cant stop eating it..I just hope I dont gain any weight
from it while on my diet...I do have a big problem with something good and sweets.
Vicki says
Wonderful recipe
Joy says
I added fresh blueberries,strawberries, and pineapple.. so Good!
Lydia says
I was wondering if I could sub in vegan cream cheese and whipped almond milk. High cholesterol and doing much lower fat macros.
Thank you!!
Taryn says
I'm sorry but I'm not sure if that will work. If you decide to try please let me know how it turns out!
