What is Keto Pudding Fluff?

Here's a foundational recipe for Keto Cheesecake Fluff:

Softened Cream Cheese: Forms the base of your keto cheesecake mousse! Make sure to use softened cream cheese in this Keto Cheesecake Fluff recipe.
Powdered Sweetener: This is important for the smoothest texture. This recipe often utilizes keto-friendly sweeteners like powdered erythritol, allulose, or a monk fruit blend.
Heavy Cream: Also needed for that creamy and fluffy texture I know you’re all after! Heavy whipping cream is essential for achieving that light and airy consistency.
Vanilla Extract: If you read our full recipes often, you’ve definitely noticed I use vanilla a lot and there’s a reason for it.

Combine the cream cheese and sweetener together until they are fluffy.
Add 1/3 of the whipped cream and mix well.
Slowly fold in the remaining whipped cream.

Tips for Achieving Perfect Fluff

While the recipe is simple, a few key techniques can elevate your keto fluff from good to exceptional.

Softened Cream Cheese: I wouldn’t skip this step because you’ll most likely end up with chunks and clumps in your cheesecake fluff. To soften the cheese, I put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds and then stir it up with a fork.
Powdered Sweetener is essential: Yes, the erythritol needs to be powdered instead of granulated. Otherwise, the texture is going to be very grainy and not as appealing. If you opt to use granulated, it may turn out okay, but I don’t recommend it.
Avoid Over-Mixing: Also, over-mixing pre-made whipped cream can turn it into a liquid or… butter.
Cold ingredients: Both cream cheese and cream should be whipped straight from the fridge. This way, the mix stays firmer.

Serving and Storage

Keto fluff can be enjoyed immediately after preparation, but chilling it for an hour or two allows the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up slightly. You can eat the cheesecake fluff right away after preparing it if you want. Or you can refrigerate it for a few hours before eating.

Serving Suggestions: I love serving the fluff in individual glass jars too. You can also get super creative with how you use this keto cheesecake fluff recipe. It would also taste yummy on ice cream.
Storage: You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. To Store: Cover the fluff with plastic wrap or place in a storage container with a lid.
Freezing: Keep airtight and freeze for up to three months. It is delicious partially frozen. Can I freeze a low-carb dessert with cream cheese? Yes, you can, but the texture will change.

Adapting the Recipe for Dietary Needs

Dairy-Free: Use coconut cream instead of the cream and a dairy free cream cheese. Add some gelatine as well as coconut cream will always end up softer than dairy cream.
Nut-Free: Be mindful of toppings and added ingredients.

Troubleshooting

Why is my keto cheesecake fluff not fluffy?: It could be for a few reasons! First, you need to make sure that your cream cheese was truly softened to room temperature - cold cream cheese won’t whip up as light and airy! You also need to make sure not to overwhip the whipped cream. If you do it will become dense and won’t fold into the cheesecake mixture smoothly.
