Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- Extra lemon zest and blueberries for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. This ensures that the fluff will have a silky texture with no lumps.
- Add Sweetener and Flavorings: Add the powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the cream cheese. Continue to beat until well combined, creating a tangy and sweet base.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be sure not to overwhip, as you want the cream to be light and airy.
- Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream as you mix to keep the fluff light and airy.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Chill and Serve: Spoon the cheesecake fluff into serving bowls or jars. Top with extra lemon zest and a few blueberries for garnish. Let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Tips:
- For a more intense lemon flavor, add a bit more lemon juice or zest to taste.
- You can substitute other berries like raspberries or strawberries, but make sure to keep the portions small to maintain keto-friendly macros.
- If you want a firmer texture, try freezing the fluff for about 20 minutes before serving—it turns into a luscious semi-frozen treat.
Enjoy the tangy, sweet, and creamy goodness of this Lemon and Blueberry Keto Cheesecake Fluff without any of the guilt!
