ingredients for keto cheesecake fluff including a bowl of cream cheese, a sifter with powdered sweetener, two lemons, a glass filled with heavy cream

Key ingredients

  • Cream cheese – Can’t be cheesecake without cream cheese! Cream cheese should be softened in order to cream it into a fluffy, silky texture the keto cheesecake mousse.
  • Sweetener – It’s preferred to use powdered sugar-free sweetener like a powdered erythritol or monkfruit blend in order to prevent a grainy texture that may occur with a granulated sweetener. The sweetener amount can be adjusted to your liking. Add more or less depending on how sweet you like it.
  • Lemon juice – Lemon juice is a necessary ingredient for cheesecake flavor. It helps to balance out the sweetness and brighten up the cheesecake.
  • Salt – Salt is added to enhance the sweetness so we can get away with using less sweetener in this cheesecake recipe.
  • Heavy cream – Heavy whipping cream and beaten with an electric mixer to form stiff peaks. This will provide the airiness to create the fluff.

    Fluff variations

    Get creative when it comes to your keto fluff. This is a base cheesecake fluff recipe. You can customize by adding different flavors and dyes or food coloring to give it a unique color.

    • Chocolate – Make chocolate cheesecake fluff by adding a 2-3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture. You may need to add additional sweetener to counter the bitterness of the chocolate.
    • Strawberry –  To make strawberry cheesecake fluff, add strawberry syrup or strawberry extract. I would add a few drops of red or pink food coloring too just for fun.
    • Vanilla – For a vanilla flavored cheesecake, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
    • Lemon – Add more lemon juice, lemon zest or some lemon extract for a lemon cheesecake flavor.
    • Raspberry – Add raspberry extract and a few drops of red food coloring.
    • Pumpkin – Add 1/4 cup pumpkin puree and a teaspoon pumpkin pie seasoning to make a seasonal pumpkin cheesecake fluff!
    • Peanut butter – Add 1/4 cup peanut butter to make peanut butter cheesecake mousse.
    • Pudding – Some people will add sugar free pudding mix to their keto fluff. This can add flavor and give a velvet like texture.

    Cheesecake toppings

    Besides different flavors, you can add various toppings to your creamy keto cheesecake fluff for a boost of flavor or crunch.

    • Nuts – For a nutty, crunchy flavor, add chopped nuts like almonds, peanuts, macadamia nuts, cashews.
    • Whipped Cream – Add a dollop of whipped cream on top.
    • Fresh Berries – This cheesecake mousse is fantastic with berries. Dip fresh strawberries into the fluff for a fun dessert style appetizer. Mix in blackberries, blueberries, chopped strawberries or raspberries.
    • Sugar Free Syrup – Drizzle your favorite sugar free syrup on top. ChocZero syrups are my favorite and they have a large selection of different sugar free flavors from chocolate, caramel to maple and peach!
    • Coconut – Top this easy dessert with unsweetened coconut. The flavor and crunch of toasted coconut is especially nice for those who love tropical flavors.
    • Chocolate Chips – To make chocolate chip cheesecake, toss in some keto chocolate chips into the fluff!
    • Granola – If you love to make my keto granola recipe and have some leftover, mix it in with your cheesecake fluff for extra crunch and flavor!

    Storage information

    As this keto recipe makes four servings, any leftover cheesecake fluff can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

    Another option is to freeze it! This will create almost an ice cream like texture but don’t try to thaw it and except it to have a similar mousse like texture as before. Once frozen, it’s best to eat it frozen.
