Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Cream cheese (full-fat) – softened
  • Heavy cream (or canned coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • Powdered erythritol or allulose (or your favorite keto sweetener)
  • Lemon juice – fresh is best
  • Vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped nuts, unsweetened toasted coconut, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup

Method
 

  1. Soften the cream cheese. Let it sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes. Soft cream cheese blends smoother and won’t turn grainy.
  2. Whip the cream. In a cold bowl, beat heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Don’t over-whip. Set aside.
  3. Beat the base. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the sweetener, lemon juice, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until creamy and fluffy, about 1–2 minutes.
  4. Fold it together. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions. Keep light strokes to preserve the airy texture.
  5. Taste and tweak. Add more sweetener if needed. If it’s too thick, mix in a tablespoon of heavy cream. If too loose, chill for 10–15 minutes.
  6. Top and serve. Spoon into bowls and add your favorite keto-friendly toppings. Serve right away or chill for a firmer set.
