Ingredients
For the Fluff:
- 12 –16 oz 350–450 g fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1 ½ cups 360 ml cold heavy cream
- 4 oz 115 g cream cheese, softened (optional for richness)
- 3 –4 tbsp powdered erythritol or preferred powdered sugar-free sweetener
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp unflavored gelatin + 2 tbsp cold water optional, for stability
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Optional Garnish:
- Fresh strawberry halves
- Mint leaves
- Sugar-free dark chocolate shavings or crushed nuts
Instructions
- Chill equipment: Place your mixing bowl and whisk in the fridge for 15–30 minutes for best whipping results.
- Prepare strawberries: Blend the chopped strawberries with lemon juice until smooth. Strain to remove seeds for a silkier texture if desired.
- Optional reduction: If the puree seems watery, simmer it for 5–8 minutes to concentrate flavor, then cool completely.
- Bloom gelatin (optional): Sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let sit 5 minutes. Heat gently until fully dissolved. Let cool slightly.
- Whip cream: Beat cold heavy cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.
- Add cream cheese and sweetener: Beat softened cream cheese separately until smooth, then gently fold into whipped cream with erythritol and vanilla. Taste for sweetness.
- Add strawberry puree: Gently fold in the cooled strawberry puree until evenly distributed but still airy.
- Add gelatin: Drizzle the dissolved gelatin into the mixture while folding quickly to combine.
- Chill: Spoon mixture into serving dishes or one large bowl. Chill for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh strawberries, mint, or sugar-free chocolate. Serve cold and enjoy!
Notes
- For a vegan version, replace heavy cream with chilled coconut cream, gelatin with agar powder, and cream cheese with vegan cream cheese.
- To intensify strawberry flavor, reduce the puree before folding it in.
- Store covered in the refrigerator up to 3–4 days (if stabilized with gelatin). Best enjoyed within 24–48 hours otherwise.
- Great for layering into trifles, parfaits, or as a light cake filling.
