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!

So good and easy to make!!
This is awesome! I’ve made it twice already. So far, every recipe I’ve read on your site has been great! Thank you for providing such great recipes.
Excellent! I added a bit of vanilla extract and it was divine 😍
This was amazing I couldn’t believe it was real cheesecake tasting I can’t wait to find more recipes liked it
This is so good, I’m making it for the third time tonight. And what’s even better? My husband doesn’t like cheesecake or anything with cream cheese!! I’ll have dessert through the holiday. Yea me!!
da bomb!!! Satisfies the seeet tooth
This was really good, but when you use 8oz of cream cheese, 8oz of heavy cream, the carb count goes way up when you put this info into MyFitnessPal. (21 net carbs). Can you tell me how you got your nutritional info? I even divided it among 8 servings instead of 4.
You have to manually subtract the sugar alcohol in the sweetener. Both heavy cream and cream cheese have approx 1 carb per ounce. The carbs you are seeing are sugar alcohols and can be subtracted.
Can you use Splenda instead of swerve?
Yes, you can just add it to taste.
While this looks tasty ,to lose weight you still have to watch calories. A 400 calorie dessert is not a good way to do that.
Not everyone does keto or low carb for weight loss. You shouldn’t eat 400 calorie desserts every day but for an occasional treat, this is much better than a piece of ‘real’ cheesecake that has the same or more calories plus plenty of carbs from sugar.
Thank you Pam “insert eye roll 🙄 “
My husband loves cheesecake, so i made it, handed to him, and he said “what’s this”. I said try it and see…SCORE!!
I’m just really ready to go full on keto. I’ve had my gallbladder out but I’m still hopeful that this is the answer to health & weight issues. I’ve been so hungry for something sweet but afraid if I start there’ll be no going back so a huge Thank you !!
Loved this!! Served it with 2 sliced strawberries 🍓.
I’ve tried to make this twice now, and it’s tasty but coming out runny! Any ideas where I might be going wrong?
Are you whipping the cream to stiff peaks? You may not be whipping it long enough.
Easy and looks so yummy
Looks delicious!
Easy to make and delicious.
I’ve made this twice with fresh keto friendly fruits so delicious, light and creamy! The second time I used lemon extract maybe banana extract on my third time who knows the options are many!! Thank you for this winning dessert!!
Is the powdered sweetener like powdered sugar? I can’t find any powdered sweetener that isn’t powdered sugar consistency at my local stores.
Yes, like powdered sugar.
You can buy Swerve powder sugar it’s the best!
This is awesome
wondered if using Oinko vanilla greek yogurt would work as well as the whipped cream? Just trying to use what i have on hand.
Sure. It won’t taste cheesecakey without cream cheese but yogurt folded into whipped cream is delicious too.
Delicious and so easy! Thank you!
I haven’t found a recipe of yours that I didn’t love, including this one. I used THM gentle sweet ( 8 teaspoons) because that’s what I had on hand, added a little vanilla and lemon flavoring. It turned out great! Thank you so much for all of your hard work and wonderful recipes.
Love, love, love this! We had it without fruit, and it was really decadent. Super easy, too!
