The cherry and vanilla give it a bright, creamy flavor that’s balanced and not overly sweet. Plus, it’s easy to prep ahead, and the texture stays perfect even after chilling. Whether I’m serving guests or just treating myself, this cheesecake fluff never disappoints.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

• 1/3 cup powdered erythritol (or another keto-friendly sweetener)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 0.25–0.5 teaspoon pure keto cherry extract

• 2 tablespoons keto chocolate shavings (like ChocZero)
  Optional toppings: crushed almonds, extra chocolate chips, or a few cherries (in moderation)

Directions

1. Beat the cream cheese: I start by beating the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until it’s smooth and creamy.

2. Add flavor and sweetener: I mix in the vanilla extract and powdered erythritol until everything is well combined.

3. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, I beat the heavy whipping cream until it forms soft peaks.

4. Combine: I gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.

5. Flavor it up: I stir in the cherry extract and chocolate shavings. I adjust the amount of cherry extract depending on how strong I want the flavor.

6. Chill and serve: I spoon the fluff into dessert cups or jars and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors set.

7. Garnish (optional): Before serving, I top with extras like crushed almonds, sugar-free chocolate chips, or a few cherries for added texture.

This recipe makes 6 servings, with a serving size of ½ cup. It takes 10 minutes total—no baking needed.

Variations

• Chocolate cherry swirl: I add a little melted sugar-free chocolate and swirl it through before chilling.

• Dairy-free version: I use coconut cream in place of whipping cream and dairy-free cream cheese alternatives.

• Berry twist: I mix in a few fresh raspberries or strawberries in place of cherry extract for a fruity change.

• Nut crunch: I top it with crushed pecans or walnuts for a crunchy finish.

Storage/Reheating

Fridge: I store this cheesecake fluff in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. It keeps its texture well.

Freezer: I portion the fluff into individual containers and freeze for up to 1 month. I thaw it in the fridge for a few hours before serving.

FAQs

Is this cheesecake fluff keto-friendly?

Yes, it’s perfectly keto-friendly. Each serving has 3g net carbs, with high fat and moderate protein—ideal for a low-carb lifestyle.

Can I use real cherries instead of extract?

I don’t use real cherries in this recipe because they’re higher in carbs. The cherry extract gives me all the flavor without the sugar.

How can I make it dairy-free?

To make this fluff dairy-free, I use coconut cream instead of whipping cream and a dairy-free cream cheese substitute.

How strong is the cherry flavor?

It’s light and sweet, but I can increase the cherry extract up to ½ teaspoon for a bolder flavor. I taste as I go to get it just right.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely. I often make it a day in advance and let it chill overnight—the flavor actually improves as it sits.
