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!
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!

Michelle S says
Husband approved! We both loved this! A quick, simple, and delicious dessert. Thank you!
Emily R. says
This recipe was amazing!!! Just the sweetness my husband and I needed to stick with our diet requirements and not go insane. We do use xylitol for our sweetener in the same measurements in the recipe and it mixes great!! No need for powdered sweetener. We added a little vanilla and cinnamon to ours. Highly recommend!!
Alicia says
I just made this and mixed with a box of sugarfree banana pudding mix and it was delicious
Deanna says
The is outstanding. Love it!!!
Nichole says
Yes, this is delicious, but luckily I didn't eat it until I input the recipe's ingredients myself. The macros are FIVE times what you say... especially if you figured yours for 4 servings. MyFitness Pal says a quarter of this recipe is 22g of carbs 137g of fat and 30g of protein? A fat bomb for sure, but waaay too many carbs. Did you really mean a HALF cup (24 tsp) of the powdered erithytol?
Taryn says
My Fitness Pal does not subtract sugar alcohols. You need to do that manually. The macros I have listed are correct.
Nichole says
Great! Thank you for explaining. I have never been told to subtract the sugar alcohols. My husband will be thrilled.
Genet E Harris says
No way would this have 22 carbs per serving ! not even possible !
Maria says
Not that it was "bad", but it didn't taste like cheesecake. I even added more sweetener & vanilla, too. I'll try the chocolate version next time.
Charis says
Love this! I’m a big fan of cheesecake and not a crust lover so this is perfect. My 2 year old indulges with me 🙂
Barb says
Made 1/2 recipe added.some lemon zest
Wish i made the full recipe.
Definitely recommend
Pat says
I always thought that sugar was required to make whip cream. I'm glad your recipe dispelled that falsehood for me. I loved this recipe. Next go around I will cut back a tad on the erythritol to suit my "not too sweet" palette. I also definitely wanted to have something with it. My wheels are turning. I already see myself reaching in the fridge to get a mouthful when I get a sweet craving. Thank you for this "no nuts " sweet treat as nuts definitely don't jive with me. ❤❤❤
Pat says
I also tried this recipe replacing half the erythritol with stevia & it was still good.
Christine Eliason says
So Yummy and so simple!!!
PeggiD says
This easy cheesecake fluff is a staple of my keto desert recipes! My husband loves almost anything I make with it. Two of our favorites are "oatmeal" sandwich pies and frozen parfait cups layered with keto fruit jam, crumbles and fluff then frozen - both are frozen then thawed just before serving. Such wonderful treats to have on hand. I sometimes add other flavors to the fluff, like "marshmallow" flavoring from Olive Nation. The fluff is so versatile and it's good right by itself too!
Pamela Jean Galis says
Question: Can you use neufachtel?
Taryn says
Sure
Vicky says
I just made this yummy!! I bought a pre made walnut pie shell and filled it with mouse and it was amazing. I also added coco to it ty so much for this recipe
Rita says
I’ve been making this for years. Love it as a quick snack or dessert. Lasts nicely in fridge in air tight covered container for a few days. Only thing I do different is instead of sweetener I use a flavored syrup like Torani (sp?) sugar free like the vanilla or salted carmel. It doesn’t take much and everything still sets up fine. I agree it would be very difficult to do by hand - a breeze with a mixer.
Melissa says
I am not a baker/cook. I thought this was very easy to make, and it was delicious! I put blueberries on top, but it didn’t need anything. Thanks for the awesome recipe!
Lori Sanchez says
This recipe is so easy and delicious! I made a variation by adding 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and an extra teaspoon of powdered erythritol. It came out like a chocolate swirl 😀
Gloria J Murphy says
Whipped this up with 2 tsp. Vanilla and extra heavy Cream to make it just thin enough to dip berries into (thick enough to stay on - but thin/light enough not to pull the fruit off the pick!). Perfect for the ladies tea I was having!
Nicole says
We made this for a special occasion. It was so good. We did put a couple of drops of almond extract with black raspberries. So, so, so good!!!
Karen says
Could you also add frozen fruit for taste
Taryn says
Sure!
Mitzi Stearns says
Quick, delicious, light dessert! I added vanilla extract and real lemon juice for flavor. I added aqua food coloring to the cream cheese mixture before folding in the whipped cream. Color does not show well in my camera's pictures. In person, the colors are vibrant, much prettier in person. Not sure how to add a picture.
