This the kind of treat you'll want to reach for when you're craving something that feels a little special without tons of work.

I’ve made this for weeknight desserts and dinner parties, and it gets rave reviews every time. The mascarpone gives it this rich, velvety texture that’s softer than cream cheese and holds up beautifully in decadent layers.

🔪 How to Make Keto Berries and Cream

In a mixing bowl, add in the heavy cream and whip to stiff peaks using a hand mixer. Then set it aside.

Add the mascarpone cheese to a separate bowl and whip using a hand mixer.

Add in the sweetener, lemon zest and vanilla extract, then continue mixing.

Add the mixture into the whipped cream and mix until well combined.

Add layers of the cream and berries, alternating and serve.

☑️ Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container or covered glasses for up to 3 days. Freezing it not recommended. The mascarpone and whipped cream mixture can become grainy once thawed.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• Nuts: Add a slivered almonds or pecans between the layers for a little crunch
• Chocolate: Mix in a few sugar-free chocolate chips with the cream for a fun twist.
• Extract: Try a touch of almond extract instead of vanilla for a subtle flavor shift.
• Topping: Drizzle a sugar-free Strawberry Sauce over the top for a pretty finish.
• Garnish: Add a sprig of fresh mint for a pop of color and extra freshness.

💡 Tips

• Whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks for the best texture. Soft peaks will make the dessert too loose.

• Make sure the mascarpone is softened before mixing. Cold cheese can clump and won’t blend smoothly.

• Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for quicker prep. Whipping by hand takes longer and may affect the final consistency.

• Taste the cream mixture before layering. Depending on your berries, you may want to adjust the sweetener.

• Chill the dessert for 10-15 minutes if you want it firmer, but it’s great right away too.
