Ingredients
This recipe makes about 6–8 servings.
Core Ingredients:
-
1 cup cream cheese, softened
-
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
-
½ cup powdered erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
Optional Flavor Variations:
-
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder for chocolate fluff
-
¼ teaspoon peppermint extract for minty fluff
-
2 tablespoons peanut butter or almond butter for nutty flavor
Optional Toppings:
-
Unsweetened cocoa nibs
-
Chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts)

Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
Equipment Needed
-
Mixing bowl
-
Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
-
Spatula
-
Measuring cups and spoons
-
Small serving bowls or ramekins
Step 1: Soften the Fats
-
Remove the cream cheese and butter from the fridge 30 minutes before making the fluff.
-
Cut into small pieces to make mixing easier.
Softened fats are essential for creating the light, fluffy texture that makes this dessert so irresistible.
Step 2: Beat the Cream Cheese and Butter
-
Place the cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl.
-
Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, beat on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
Tip: Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula occasionally to ensure even mixing.
Step 3: Add Sweetener and Flavor
-
Add the powdered erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
-
Beat again until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes. The mixture should be light, creamy, and slightly fluffy.
Optional: If making chocolate fluff, add cocoa powder at this stage and mix until smooth. For nutty variations, fold in peanut butter or almond butter.
Step 4: Chill for Texture
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to small serving dishes.
-
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm slightly.
Chilling makes the fluff denser, creamier, and more like a dessert mousse.
Step 5: Serve
-
Scoop the fat bomb fluff into small bowls or ramekins.
-
Add optional toppings like chopped nuts, cocoa nibs, or fresh berries.
-
Enjoy immediately, or keep chilled until ready to serve.
Tip: This fluff can also be piped into cupcake liners for a fun, portable keto snack.
