Making this keto cheesecake fluff couldn’t be easier — it literally takes just five minutes from start to finish. All you need to do is whip the cream until it’s light and airy. While it’s possible to do this by hand, I definitely recommend using an electric mixer to save time and energy. The goal is to mix the heavy whipping cream in a stand mixer until you see stiff peaks, then transfer it to another bowl so you can build the perfect base for your cheesecake fluff.
Next, you’ll combine the cream cheese and sweetener until they turn fluffy and smooth. Then pour ⅓ of your homemade whipped cream into the mixture and combine it gently. Carefully fold in the rest of the whipped cream to create that rich, cloud-like cheesecake fluff mixture. Spoon it into serving bowls, top with your favorite berries, and enjoy it plain or dressed up. For an expert tip, use a piping bag with a star tip to pipe it into bowls instead of spooning—it gives the dessert a more fancy and impressive look without any extra effort.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Whip the Heavy Cream
Pour the heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This creates the light, fluffy base that gives your cheesecake fluff its dreamy texture.
2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sweetener together. Mix until the texture becomes smooth, fluffy, and completely lump-free. This step ensures your fluff tastes silky and decadent.
3. Combine the Mixtures
Add about one-third of the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold it in to lighten the base. Once combined, fold in the remaining whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
4. Serve the Fluff
Spoon the cheesecake fluff into serving bowls, or for a more elegant presentation, pipe it using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Add fresh berries, sugar-free chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
5. Enjoy or Chill
You can serve it immediately for a soft, cloud-like texture or refrigerate it for 30–60 minutes for a thicker, cheesecake-style bite.
