Ingredients
  

  • For the almond base: 1 cup fine almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or your preferred keto sweetener
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the strawberry cream: 6 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled (about 1 cup chopped)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or allulose, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: Extra chopped strawberries
  • Unsweetened shredded coconut
  • Shaved dark chocolate (90% or sugar-free)
  • Whipped cream (unsweetened or lightly sweetened with keto sweetener)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the base: In a bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Stir until it looks like damp sand and holds when pressed.
  2. Portion the base: Divide the mixture among 6 small dessert cups or jars. Press gently to form an even layer. Set aside.
  3. Blend the strawberries: Add strawberries to a blender or food processor and pulse to a puree. If you like a few small pieces, leave it slightly chunky.
  4. Make the cream: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sweetener, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Scrape down the sides to avoid lumps.
  5. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Don’t overbeat.
  6. Combine: Fold the strawberry puree into the cream cheese mixture until blended. Then gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
  7. Assemble: Spoon or pipe the strawberry cream over the almond base, dividing evenly among the cups.
  8. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours, or until set. The flavors get better as they rest.
  9. Finish and serve: Top with a few strawberry pieces, coconut, chocolate shavings, or a dollop of whipped cream. Serve cold.
