Required Equipment

Here’s everything you’ll need for this recipe:

1. Mixing bowls – You’ll need two bowls, one for whipping the cream and one for mixing the peanut butter and cream cheese.
2. Electric mixer or hand mixer – This is essential for whipping the heavy cream into soft peaks. While you can do it by hand, an electric mixer will make the process much easier and faster.
3. Measuring spoons and cups – To ensure you’re using the right amounts of each ingredient, measuring spoons and cups are a must.
4. Spatula – This will help you scrape the mixture from the bowl and combine everything evenly.
5. Refrigerator – Chill the heavy whipping cream before using it to ensure the fluff stays light and airy.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (HWC) – This is the key to getting that light, fluffy texture. If you want a slightly lighter version, you can substitute it with half-and-half, but HWC is perfect for the keto diet.
• 4 ounces Cream Cheese, softened – The cream cheese helps add richness to the fluff. If you’re dairy-free, you can substitute this with a non-dairy cream cheese alternative, but it will alter the texture and flavor slightly.
• 3 tablespoons All-Natural Peanut Butter – Choose an all-natural peanut butter with no added sugar. If you’re allergic to peanuts, almond butter or sunflower seed butter are great alternatives.
• 1/4 cup Sweetener (Lakanto) – I prefer using Lakanto for its clean taste, but you can substitute with erythritol or stevia if that’s what you have on hand. Just be mindful of the sweetness level.
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla – This gives the fluff a warm, natural flavor. If you don’t have vanilla, you can use almond extract for a twist.
• Lily’s Chocolate Chips for garnish – These are sugar-free and perfect for keto. If you’re not a fan of chocolate, feel free to skip this or use a different keto-friendly topping.

How to Make Keto Peanut Butter Fluff

1. Chill the heavy whipping cream – Before you begin, place the heavy whipping cream in a mixing bowl and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. This step is key to achieving the fluffy texture.
2. Prepare the peanut butter mixture – In a separate large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, sweetener, and vanilla. Use a spatula to mix everything together until smooth and creamy. This forms the base of your peanut butter fluff.
3. Whip the heavy cream – Take the chilled heavy whipping cream and, using an electric mixer, beat it on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This process should take about 2-3 minutes. You want the cream to be fluffy but not over-whipped.
4. Combine the whipped cream with the peanut butter mixture – Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Use your spatula to carefully mix everything together until fully combined. You don’t want to deflate the whipped cream, so be gentle.
5. Top with chocolate chips – Once everything is mixed, transfer the fluff into serving bowls or a large dish. Sprinkle Lily’s chocolate chips on top for an extra touch of sweetness and crunch.
6. Chill and Serve – For the best texture, let the fluff chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and gives the fluff time to firm up a bit.

Tips for This Recipe

• Be sure to use natural peanut butter with no added sugar or hydrogenated oils. This ensures the fluff stays low-carb.
• If you don’t have an electric mixer, you can whip the cream by hand with a whisk, but it will take longer and require more effort.
• You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sweetener, depending on your taste preference. Just be careful not to over-sweeten, as the chocolate chips add extra sweetness.

Optional Additions

• Chopped nuts – If you like a bit of crunch, you can sprinkle some chopped peanuts or almonds on top before serving.
• Cocoa powder – If you’re a fan of chocolate, adding a little cocoa powder to the peanut butter mixture can intensify the flavor.
• Keto-friendly berries – A few fresh raspberries or strawberries make a lovely topping for extra flavor and a pop of color.
