Ingredients
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup erythritol, powdered
2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Use stand mixer or electric mixer to whip heavy cream until peaks start to form.
Add erythritol and continue to mix.
Gently fold in vanilla extract.
Use immediately as Cool Whip substitute or freeze for 1 to 2 hours to enjoy as an ice cream alternative. Be careful not to let mixture freeze for too long, or it’ll harden.
Recipe tips:
Before whipping the cream, place your mixing bowl over a large ice-filled bowl to speed up the process.
Add lemon juice and fresh lemon zest to the mixture to make tangy lemon fluff.
Don't overwhip the heavy cream, or it’ll turn into a clumpy, buttery texture instead of airy homemade whipped cream.
If you do overwhip the mixture, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of heavy cream helps restore its smooth texture.
Fold sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts into the fluff before freezing for an extra flavor boost and a crunchy texture.
Incorporate fresh berries into the heavy whipping cream mixture, then freeze to create a delicious low-carb berry ice cream.
To make a keto cheesecake fluff recipe, combine cream cheese, heavy cream, and erythritol and gently fold vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture before chilling.
Ketogenic Vanilla Fluff
Want to satisfy your sweet tooth without disrupting fat burning and ketosis? This Keto Vanilla Fluff recipe is the perfect solution!
Made with only three ingredients and 15 minutes of prep time, you can create a decadent dessert that’s low in carbs, rich in flavor, and keeps your keto goals on track.
Why you’ll love this keto-friendly recipe
Whether spread over a slice of sugar-free cake or savored as an ice cream alternative, this Keto Vanilla Fluff delivers a delectable, satisfying treat that fits perfectly into a Healthy Keto® diet.
The main ingredient, heavy cream, is a health-promoting dairy product that gives this Vanilla Fluff a rich and silky texture while adding healthy fats and essential vitamins and minerals.
Research published in Food & Nutrition Research found that consuming milk and dairy products has been linked to a lower risk of childhood obesity and improved body composition in adults.
The study further highlights that dairy may help decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease while supporting bone mineral density due to its high calcium content.
Unlike traditional whipped cream, which typically contains added sugars, this recipe uses powdered erythritol, a sugar alcohol commonly used in keto recipes as a low-carb sweetener.
"Erythritol is a keto-approved sugar substitute that doesn’t affect blood glucose or insulin levels," explains Dr. Berg. “It also triggers the release of gut hormones that help control appetite, potentially aiding in weight loss.”
Vanilla adds a rich, aromatic flavor and has potential medicinal benefits, such as helping to relieve fever, muscle spasms, and gastrointestinal irritations.
Another reason to love this dessert is its versatility. For instance, if you prefer a denser texture, you can quickly whip up keto cheesecake fluff by combining whipped cream, softened cream cheese, low-carb sweetener, and a dash of cinnamon.
This sweet treat is also gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
