If you are like me, you are always on the lookout for a dessert that is quick and easy to make. If you can make that dessert sugar free so much the better!
This Lemon Cheesecake Fluff is not only sugar free, but it is low carb and keto/diabetic friendly! And not only that, It uses only five basic ingredients and takes only about five minutes to make!
I call that a win!
I've been on a quest to cut back the carbs and sugar in my diet, but I don't want to rule out treats entirely. The thought of having to live my life without the occasional treat makes me feel sad.
Its nice to be able to enjoy the occasional treat and this light and fluffy cheesecake dessert is a real treat if ever there was one! Its like a lemon cheesecake mousse!
Not too sweet and with only 2.1 carbs per serving it goes down a real treat. Its also very easy to dress up with fresh berries and a light dusting of some sugar free icing sugar.
I like the Swerve sugar free products. They work beautifully in something like this. If you are not following keto, low carb or sugar free, by all means use regular icing sugar!
This is a simple sugar free dessert that you won't even have to put the oven on for. That makes it perfect for the hot summer months we have looming.
The fact that it goes together very quickly is another bonus. Quick, easy, delicious and sugar free. Count me in!
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE LEMON CHEESECAKE FLUFF
Other than the powdered sweetener, there is really nothing too out of the ordinary here.
- 1/2 cup (125g) full fat cream cheese
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream (double cream)
- 2 TBS powdered sweetener (I use Swerve icing sugar)
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- the finely grated zest of 1/2 lemon
- fresh berries to serve
I use only full fat cream cheese. I have no idea if lower fat cream cheese works the same. I can only tell you that this works perfectly with the full fat.
I also used lactose free whipping cream, because that is what I have in my refrigerator.
Fresh lemons are a must for both the juice and the zest. You won't get the same fresh taste using lemon juice which has been reconstituted from concentrate and don't even think about using lemon flavoring. The finished result will taste like perfume.
I also only use pure vanilla extract. I have always used the Costco vanilla extract, It is excellent vanilla and for me, lasts a very long time. I think it is worth every penny.
I know pure vanilla extract can be a bit on the expensive side, but there is really no comparison between artificial and real vanilla. You, quite simply, get what you pay for.
I like to use a mix of fresh berries when I am serving a dessert like this. Usually raspberries and blueberries. I have always found that strawberries out of season are just not worth the money that you pay for them.
I think blackberries would also be nice. Or you could use a simple sugar free raspberry coulis to drizzle over top. Or even toasted coconut would be nice.

Nothing could be simpler or quicker. When I say this goes together and you can be eating it in just five minutes I mean just that! You will need an electric hand mixer.
Measure the cream into a bowl and whisk with an electric hand mixer until the mixture softly mounds.

Boy I sure miss my dessert dishes and such that I had in the UK. I will need to go visit some charity shops and yard sales here where I live to see what I can find.
