Are berries keto?
When you’re following a keto plan, there aren’t many fruits you can eat. But the great news is that, in moderation, you can enjoy some of your favorite berries. For this recipe, we combine strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries. All three of these berries have similar carb counts. One cup of strawberries contains about 7-8 grams of net carbs. One cup of blackberries contains about 6 grams of net carbs, and one cup of raspberries contains approximately 7 grams of net carbs. Although not included in this recipe, one cup of blueberries contains about 17-18 grams of net carbs. Besides being fairly low carb, berries also contain some important nutrients. Some of these include copper, folate, manganese, vitamins C and K. They also provide you with valuable antioxidants and are a good source of fiber. So yes, in moderation, enjoy your berries!
How do I make the whipped cream for this berries with keto lemon whipped cream dessert?
It is incredibly easy to make your own keto whipped cream and it tastes amazing! For the best results, you’ll want to place your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before using. Also, don’t remove your heavy whipping cream from the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it. You want everything as cold as possible. To make your whipped cream, simply add the whipping cream, keto powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice to your chilled bowl. Use an electric mixer and beat until stiff peaks form. Stiff peaks mean when you remove the mixer, your whipped cream forms a peak and it completely holds its shape. If you just want to make a basic keto whipped cream, you can leave out the lemon zest and juice. But I think you should give it a try with the lemon!🍋
How can I serve these berries with keto lemon whipped cream?
1 cup of heavy whipping cream gives you approximately 2 cups of whipped cream. The serving size for this dessert is ½ cup berries and about 1 cup of whipped cream. If you’d like to cut the carbs even more, you could use less berries or whipped cream per serving. You have a few fun ways to serve this dessert. Since it’s so pretty, I like to serve mine in glass bowls. You can top your berries with whipped cream, or you can top the whipped cream with berries. Both create beautiful presentations. Another fun way to serve this dessert is make a few layers alternating berries and whipped cream. Sprinkling a little extra lemon zest on top of the dessert is also a great serving option.
