Ingredients
Scale
Creamy Base & Flavor
- 340 g Neufchâtel cream cheese (softened)
- 115 g full-fat Greek yogurt (≈ 4 oz, cold)
- 60 g powdered allulose–monk fruit blend (about 5 tbsp, or to taste)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
- A tiny pinch fine salt
Whip-In (same bowl)
- 14 tbsp ≈ 205 ml heavy whipping cream, cold
Fiber & Little Crunch
- 1 tbsp ≈ 8 g finely ground golden flaxseed
- 2 tbsp ≈ 12 g sliced almonds, lightly toasted (optional garnish)
Fold-Ins (chilled & dry-patted)
- 250 g strawberries (diced small)
- 165 g blueberries
- 170 g blackberries (halved if large)
- 85 g raspberries
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat Neufchâtel, Greek yogurt, sweetener, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt until ultra-smooth and glossy.
- With the mixer running, slowly stream in the cold heavy cream; continue whipping just until softly thick and billowy. No mixer? A silicone whisk works well here too, it just takes a bit more arm work.
- Sprinkle in the ground flaxseed and stir briefly; let the mixture stand 1 minute to subtly set.
- Gently fold in strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. Spoon into 24 small cups/bowls; finish with a whisper of sliced almonds if using. Chill briefly for a firmer set or serve immediately. Leftovers keep well in airtight glass containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Low carb crumble base: stir together fine blanched almond flour, melted coconut oil, and a spoonful of the sweetener, then press into the bottom of each cup before adding the filling.
- Optional chocolate twist: whisk in 1 tbsp unsweetened organic cacao powder into the creamy base before adding the berries.
- For extra sweetness and a glossy finish, drizzle a little sugar free maple syrup over each cup just before serving.
- Diabetic-Friendly Insight: This dessert is a fantastic option for blood sugar management! It offers a rich, satisfying experience with very low net carbs and zero traditional added sugar, preventing those unwanted glucose spikes. The berries add a wonderful boost of natural fiber and antioxidants.
- Wellness Tip: Because the creamy base is rich in healthy fats and protein, it promotes a feeling of fullness quickly. This makes it easier to stick to the small serving size, allowing you to enjoy a luxurious treat while being mindful of heart health and daily saturated fat intake.
