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.
This recipe combines three nutrient-dense ingredients that won’t kick you out of ketosis.
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.
What to serve with Keto Vanilla Fluff

Storing tips

You can also freeze the fluff for up to two months, enjoying it as a creamy keto-friendly ice cream or thawing it to use as a luscious topping for low-carb cakes and pastries.
If the texture becomes grainy after defrosting, simply re-whip the fluff using an electric mixer. However, it’s important to avoid overwhipping, as it can cause the fluff to become clumpy and buttery.
