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!

One of my fave light desserts of all time, I don’t even miss the crust and it’s quite filling so you aren’t tempted to chow down on more than one serving at a time :-). Next time I’ll add unsweetened cocoa. I make a keto chocolate fluff and I bet it would be amazing combining it with your recipe!!
Although this is very good, I cannot seem to come up with the same nutritional facts as you have posted. Can you please let me know how you came up with the figures? I really would love to add this to my Keto recipes but I have tried many times and still come up with way too many carbs. Using Cronometer to figure out nutritional facts for me, it states Net Carbs 33.1 g and 3.9 Sugar. Are you not counting the carbs in Erythritol maybe . .?
You need to subtract the sugar alcohol from the erythritol. I do that manually when calculating the nutrition table.
This is so yummmmmy!
Honestly, I was shocked by how good this tasted! I made it exactly as written (I did add the vanilla as suggested). It got a thumbs up from my husband, and I am going to serve it with strawberries when my son, daughter-in-law, and grandkids come over for Easter dinner. I will be making this many, many times. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
Can I use swerve powdered sugar
Yes
Love this. Make it very often.
Can you use sugar free pudding mix instead of the sweetener?
Maybe. I haven’t tried that.
Can you use whipping cream?
Yes, whipping cream and heavy cream are the same thing.
This is AMAZING! Added some fresh strawberries too! Also thought it might work using a flavored extract (besides vanilla)… maybe banana or cherry? 🤷🏼♀️ I see its 4 servings but what is the serving size?
I didn’t measure out how much a serving is. I just eye it up into 4 bowls or glasses.
Can you use the spreadable cheese?
Which one do you have?
Loved this recipe !! It’s definitely on our Favorite Desserts list !! Have you ever used your “Joy Filled Eats Natural sweetener” with this recipe? If so, what amount did you use?
Thank you for all the wonderful recipes that you have on your website !!!
Very tasty! Even received the approval of my 7 year old grandson. I prefer my cheesecake mousse to be a bit on the richer side so I think I will double the cream cheese next time.
How many servings are in this recipe. Did I miss that? Because the nutritional value is nothing without knowing the amount of servings Unless this yields just one serving😉
It’s at the top of the recipe card.
Thank you for sharing, it is delicious!!! I love it
Has anyone tried substituting heavy coconut cream for the whipping cream? Sounds delicious!
Can you omit the sweetener completely? Will that affect the consistency? Thanks.
I haven’t tried this without the sweetener. It would probably be softer.
Can you use an appropriate amount of liquid sweetener drops or does it need the powdered sweetener to provided stability?
I think it needs a powdered sweetener, sorry.
I’ve made a version of this with liquid sweetener (Walmart brand stevia/erythritol drops) and it works just fine! I haven’t tried this method yet of whipping the cream and cream cheese separately– I whip up cream cheese and then whip heavy cream directly in, adding a bit at a time until I get the consistency I want. I think this version would be lighter and fluffier though, so I want to give that a try! But it wouldn’t hurt to try it with the liquid sweetener drops. You might use a little extra cream cheese so it’s a little thicker. I think this dessert is pretty forgiving though! 🙂
This page doesn’t print !! Tried on both my computers and iPad …..it just takes you back up to top of page !! Also…the advertising on the site…blocks 80% of the recipie and you can’t get them to go away even after pushing the x in the corner !!! Very frustrating !!! Can’t even make it !! Can’t see or print !!
Did you click the print button? When you do it takes you to a page without any ads so you can just print the recipe. I just tested it and it is working fine.
I’m sorry you couldn’t x out of an ad. That should definitely not happen. I will mention it to my ad company. If it happens to you again please send me a screenshot so they can investigate further.
Very easy to make and tasted great!Jo
Could you use coconut sugar
Yes, but you should grind it to a powder first.
Does the cream cheese need to be softened first or right out of the fridge? I assume softened, but wanted to double check. Thanks
It mixes easier when softened. Sometimes I just microwave it for 20 seconds.
So easy, so good. Thanks for posting this! It was the perfect light but indulgent tasting treat for this dreary morning.
