Keto Cream Cheese Recipes I Make Every Week

116 recipes

Cream cheese is the base of my most popular keto recipes. It’s the foundation of fat head dough, the secret to rich cheesecakes, and what makes keto frostings actually taste like frosting.

The key is using full-fat block cream cheese, not the whipped tub. The tub has more air and water, which throws off ratios in baking. I always bring it to room temperature before mixing — cold cream cheese is the number one reason people get lumpy cheesecake batter.
