This keto fruit dip is light, fluffy, and made with just 3 simple ingredients. It comes together in minutes and works perfectly as a low carb appetizer or dessert, with just 2 grams of net carbs per serving.
Why make this low carb fruit dip
This keto fruit dip is always the first thing to disappear at parties and gatherings.
I originally created this as a low carb version of my mom’s classic fruit dip- the super fluffy and frosting-like one she’d serve at parties alongside sliced fruit and sweet treats. I wanted the same creamy texture (and sweetness!) just without the sugar.
After testing a few sweeteners, I landed on this version that uses simple, low carb ingredients. There’s no added sugar, thickeners, or fillers, but the texture is light and fluffy.
I love to serve it with strawberries or blueberries, but it’s just as good with keto chocolate chip cookies.
Key Ingredients
Here’s what goes into this sugar free fruit dip, along with my kitchen notes. Measurements are in the recipe card below.
- Cream cheese. Full-fat and slightly softened cream cheese. Be sure to use it from a block, not a tub, as tubs usually contain fillers and thickeners to make it spreadable.
- Powdered sweetener. Avoid buying the expensive packaged varieties and make your own– It’s so easy to make and much cheaper!
- Heavy cream. If you prefer a lighter and fluffier dip, use heavy whipping cream (it has slightly less fat, making it lighter to whip).
- Vanilla extract. Optional, but adds a lovely vanilla flavor.
How do you make a keto fruit dip?
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and the powdered sweetener, and beat until fluffy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until fluffy. Gently fold through the whipped cream and vanilla extract and continue beating until combined and smooth. Transfer into a dish or bowl and serve immediately.
Arman’s recipe tips
- Keep it chilled. This dip is light and airy right after whipping, but it will gradually lose some volume if left at room temperature for too long. For the fluffiest texture, refrigerate it until just before serving.
- Make it chocolate. For a chocolate version, add 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa powder (40g) and taste before adding more sweetener, as cocoa can sometimes dull the sweetness. Whip the cream before folding it in to keep the texture smooth.
How to store leftovers
Store the dip in the fridge, covered, for up to 4 to 5 days. It may firm up slightly as it chills. Simply give it a quick stir before serving to restore its smooth texture.
