Instructions

Wash and slice the strawberries, and rinse the blueberries. Let the berries drain well so they don’t water down the dessert. Set out the heavy cream, softened cream cheese, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and optional toppings like crushed keto cookies or almonds.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the powdered sweetener and vanilla extract. Beat everything together until the mixture becomes silky and smooth. This creates the base for your creamy dessert filling.
In a separate bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the cream until stiff peaks form. This step adds lightness and volume to the final dessert.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula and a light hand to avoid deflating the whipped cream. The result should be a fluffy and airy cream base, perfect for layering.
In your serving glasses or jars, spoon in a layer of the cream mixture, followed by sliced strawberries and blueberries. Repeat the layers if your cup size allows. Finish with a sprinkle of crushed keto cookies or almonds on top and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Use chilled heavy cream for faster whipping: Cold cream holds its shape better and gives your dessert a light, fluffy texture. You can even chill the mixing bowl for extra help.
Choose berries that are firm and fresh: Strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries work well because they don’t get too mushy. Gently pat them dry to keep the layers neat.
Sweeten to taste with low-carb options: Allulose or monk fruit blends well and doesn’t overpower the berry flavor. Start small, then adjust the sweetness after tasting.
Assemble just before serving or keep chilled: If making ahead, cover the cups and refrigerate so the cream stays fresh. Add a few fresh berries on top right before serving for a pretty finish.
