Ingredients
Cream Cheese Mixture
- 12 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 3 tbsp sugar-free cherry syrup
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 3 ounces Lily’s chocolate bar (or other equivalent keto chocolate bar)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Whipped Cream Mixture
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup Swerve confectioner’s sugar substitute
Garnish
- Sliced almonds
- Chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: Place the chocolate bar pieces and almond milk into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and combined.
- Cream Cheese Base: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese until it becomes light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for the cheesecake fluff.
- Add Flavorings: Beat in the sugar-free cherry syrup and vanilla extract into the cream cheese until well incorporated, infusing the base with fruity and aromatic flavors.
- Combine Chocolate Mixture: Pour the melted chocolate and almond milk mixture into the cream cheese blend, stirring thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and Swerve confectioner’s sugar substitute together until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light and airy texture.
- Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the chocolate cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream until completely combined, preserving the fluffiness of the whipped cream.
- Optional Coloring: Add a few drops of red food coloring if a richer cherry tint is desired, and gently fold to incorporate.
- Serve: Spoon the fluff into serving dishes and garnish with sliced almonds and chocolate chips for added texture and flavor. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate until serving.
Notes
- Use a sugar-free cherry syrup to keep the recipe low carb and keto-friendly.
- Be careful not to over-heat the chocolate to avoid burning; stir between microwave intervals.
- Folding the mixtures gently helps retain the fluffiness of the whipped cream.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- To make it nut-free, omit sliced almonds in garnish or replace with seeds.
