Ingredients:

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp lemon zest
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Extra lemon zest and blueberries for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the Cream Cheese Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. This ensures that the fluff will have a silky texture with no lumps.
Add Sweetener and Flavorings: Add the powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the cream cheese. Continue to beat until well combined, creating a tangy and sweet base.
Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be sure not to overwhip, as you want the cream to be light and airy.
Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream as you mix to keep the fluff light and airy.
Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Chill and Serve: Spoon the cheesecake fluff into serving bowls or jars. Top with extra lemon zest and a few blueberries for garnish. Let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Tips:

For a more intense lemon flavor, add a bit more lemon juice or zest to taste.
You can substitute other berries like raspberries or strawberries, but make sure to keep the portions small to maintain keto-friendly macros.
If you want a firmer texture, try freezing the fluff for about 20 minutes before serving—it turns into a luscious semi-frozen treat.

Enjoy the tangy, sweet, and creamy goodness of this Lemon and Blueberry Keto Cheesecake Fluff without any of the guilt!
