Keto Cheesecake Fluff
All you need is 3 ingredients and about five minutes to make some incredible low carb Keto Cheesecake Fluff. It’s creamy and is the best sweet dessert to complete your dinner table. Add your favorite berries on top and enjoy. This delicious cheesecake mousse is also sugar-free, Trim Healthy Mama friendly, gluten-free, and grain-free.
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 of 8 fed 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!
In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.
Ingredients
Cream Cheese – I use blocks of full-fat cream cheese.
Heavy Whipping Cream – Make sure it is thoroughly chilled so it whips up easily.
Powdered Sweetener – This is important for the smoothest texture. A granular sweetener will make it gritty.
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 transfer 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 into the cheesecake fluff mixture. Once combined, put in serving bowls and enjoy. Top with your 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.
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.

Common Questions
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.
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.
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!

Have you tried it with monkfruit with erythritol?
That will work but you may want to use a powdered one. Or if you have granular just grind it first.
Can I use any of the THM Sweetners if I grind them?
You can use gentle sweet but only use half the amount listed. I’m not sure if super sweet would work.
Can you make this with 1/3 less fat cream cheese?
Sure! I hope you like it!
Looks delicious, quick and easy!
AMAZING! I just whipped all the heavy whipping cream up in a separate bowl and blended it all in with everything instead of folding it in. I also added 1/4 of a cup of sour cream and a splash of vanilla.. IT TASTED JUST LIKE CHEESECAKE FILLING!!! I used Splenda to sweeten instead of what was called for and used 1/4 of a cup of that instead of 1/2. After the sour cream was added, I didn’t notice the Splenda after taste and it really just made it taste like a real cheesecake!!
Can I use any of the THM sweetner in this recipe? Gentle Sweet? How much?
Yes, half the amount, but grind it to a powder first or this with be gritty.
Made this for dinner tonight and both hubby and I really liked it. I am fairly new to Keto, but am an insulin dependent diabetic so just follow the low carb recipes but not the ketosis. I also have a good friend that is a new diabetic, so I have been trying different things that I can serve her when she comes over for dinner. This was great 👍 and will be nice to serve.
This was excellent on its own. Second time we cut up some strawberries and mixed them in. Either way it was delicious! Want to try adding chocolate one of these times….
Delicious!!!
Oh my goodness! This was SO good.
So can you use Splenda?
Probably, I don’t test my recipes with Splenda but I think it would work in this. Just add it to taste.
Thank you so much!
Yum! I am on a sugar detox, so no sweetener at all! It is still good and satisfying my need for a treat! Super easy to mix up when a craving hits.
Wonderful! Quick and easy dessert. So happy I found this recipe.
I couldn’t find the powered erythritol so I used powdered stevia. It came out ok but not sure if it is actually like the recipe? It did come out very fluffy but has that sugar free aftertaste. Any recommendations? Thank you so much for your time!
Don’t use powdered stevia. That is what is giving you the aftertaste.
Tried using the sour cream idea from above it works wonderfully to get rid of the after taste
Soooooo good! I used powdered Swerve. I added in some maple extract and a bit of sugar free maple syrup super tasty. Tonight I made up keto cookie dough and put chunks of cookie dough into it. My non keto husband thought it was the greatest! Thanks for the great recipe!
This is a tasty snack. I use 1/16 TSP pure powdered sucralose since I can’t have ANY of the sugar alcohols. I do sugar free or reduced sugar instead of Keto and sucralose, particularly the pure powdered stuff (not the bulked up Splenda) works well for me.
Can I use your homemade sweetener instead..is it same ratio?
You need to grind it so it’s not gritty and use half the amount. Or if you still have xylitol or erythritol you could grind one of those and make this recipe as written.
What is powdered erythritol i? Is it the same as powdered sugar? Can I use powdered sugar..
It is a sugar-free sweetener similar to powdered sugar. If you do not need this to be sugar-free or keto regular powdered sugar should be fine.
Looks so good! I have some friends that would go crazy for this!
This cheesecake fluff is awesome! I can’t believe it’s only 3 ingredients and so, so easy to make!
This fluff was a huge hit with the kids!
LOVING this easy whipped cheesecake fluff topping! I had no idea you could make it keto so easily – thank you!
