This keto berry cheesecake trifle is as delicious as it is beautiful! You’ll wow your family and friends every time you serve this amazing dessert!
I made this keto berry cheesecake trifle for the 4th of July, and it was a huge hit. It’s so pretty and it’s decadently rich and creamy. And as impressive as it looks, don’t worry because it’s actually quite easy to make. Get ready for happy people every time you serve this trifle!
Let’s talk about our cheesecake mixture!
We start with whipping up some heavy whipping cream. This brings a light and airy element to our mixture and helps to create the perfect texture. You’ll want to whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, then set it aside. In another bowl, we beat cream cheese with keto powdered sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and just a touch of salt. You’ll want to let your cream cheese soften before using so it will beat up nice and creamy. I used fresh lemon juice, but you can use bottled if you’d like. For my powdered sugar, I used the Swerve brand. It contains zero net carbs and zero calories and it’s delicious! When adding your whipped cream to your cream cheese mixture, I recommend folding it in with a soft spatula. This will help ensure your mixture will turn out light and airy and not dense.
What berries should I use for this keto berry cheesecake trifle?
When following a low carb keto plan, most fruits aren’t allowed because they’re too high in carbs. The awesome news is that, when eaten in moderation, most berries are a super choice! For this trifle, I used mostly strawberries and blackberries, then added a few blueberries for topping the trifle. Strawberries and blackberries have similar net carbs. One cup of strawberries contains about 7-8 net grams of carbs, while one cup of blackberries contains about 6 net grams. Blueberries, on the other hand, are much higher in carbs with one cup coming in at approximately 17-18 net grams of carbs. For comparison, one cup of raspberries contains about 7 net grams of carbs. I used more strawberries than blackberries for my trifle, but you can use different amounts if you’d like. You could even substitute some raspberries if you’d prefer.
How do I layer this keto berry cheesecake trifle?
Great news! You can layer your trifle any way you’d like! I’ll tell you how I layered mine. I wanted to make even layers for the first two layers, then for the top, I wanted to leave a border around the outer edge to show some of the fruit from the second layer. So for my cheesecake layers, I used about ⅓ of the mixture for each of the three layers. For the first two layers of fruit, I actually used a little more than ⅓ of both the strawberries and blackberries for each layer and just randomly placed the berries. For the top layer, I then had left a little less than ⅓ of the strawberries and blackberries, plus all of the blueberries. If you’d like, you could even do whole layers using just one kind of berry or any combination you’d like. Most importantly, have fun!😊
