Let’s talk about our berries that go into this keto lemon berry cheesecake salad!
In moderation, berries are a great keto option! This is good news since most fruits are not. For this cheesecake salad, we combine blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries. All these berries have similar carb counts. One cup of blackberries contains about 6 grams of net carbs, and one cup of raspberries contains approximately 7 grams of net carbs. Strawberries come in at about 7-8 net grams of carbs per cup. Although not included in this dish, it’s good to know one cup of blueberries contains about 17-18 net grams of carbs. You can still incorporate them into a keto plan, just keep a close eye on the amount you eat. Another great thing about berries is they contain some important nutrients. Some of these include copper, folate, manganese, and vitamins C and K. They also provide valuable antioxidants and are a good source of fiber!
How do you make this keto lemon berry cheesecake salad?
This is an incredibly easy dish to make! First, you’ll want to make sure your cream cheese is softened before beating it with the keto powdered sugar. Next, you add the heavy whipping cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt. At this point, you want to beat your mixture until it is smooth, creamy, and fluffy. Your mixture will also start to thicken. This takes about 2 minutes of mixing. Depending on the size of your berries, you’ll want to half or quarter them, so they are all similar in size. I usually quarter my larger strawberries, then half the larger raspberries and blackberries if needed. You can serve this cheesecake salad immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. If you’d like, you can also top this dish with some additional keto sweetened whipped cream.
How do I make my own keto whipped cream to top this cheesecake salad with?
It is incredibly easy to make your own whipped cream. This way you know exactly what ingredients are going into your whipped cream. And it is so creamy and delicious, you’ll never want any other kind. For the best results, I recommend placing your mixing bowl and beaters into the freezer to chill for 15-20 minutes before using. Then simply place 1 cup of heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl with 2 tablespoons of keto powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Last, beat your mixture until stiff peaks form. If you’d like to experiment, you can also use different extracts in place of the vanilla.
