Ingredients
For the Creamy High-Protein Base:
1 cup Heavy whipping cream (or heavy cream alternative)
1/2 cup Keto powdered sweetener (monk fruit or erythritol)
1 scoop (30g) Vanilla protein powder or collagen peptides
1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
1 cup Plain Greek yogurt or softened light cream cheese (for extra protein and stability)
For the Fruit & Mix-Ins (As Pictured):
1 cup Diced fresh strawberries
1 cup Sliced bananas
1/2 cup Pineapple tidbits (drained)
1/3 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts
1/3 cup Sugar-free mini chocolate chips
For Garnish: Maraschino cherries and extra whipped cream for topping
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Whip the Base
1. In a large bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, keto powdered sweetener, pure vanilla extract, and vanilla protein powder.
2. Using an electric hand mixer, beat on medium-high speed until fluffy, stiff peaks form (about 2–3 minutes).
3. Fold in the Greek yogurt or softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Combine the Fruits & Mix-Ins
1. Add the diced strawberries, banana slices, drained pineapple tidbits, shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and mini chocolate chips to the bowl.
2. Gently fold with a spatula until every piece is coated in the sweet vanilla cream.
Step 3: Portion, Decorate & Chill
1. Scoop the fluff mixture into individual clear serving cups or glass meal-prep jars.
2. Top each cup with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of crushed pecans, a few mini chocolate chips, and a maraschino cherry.
3. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30–60 minutes before serving for the best texture.
Pro Tips for the Best Consistency
Drain the Pineapple Well: Make sure your pineapple tidbits are thoroughly drained or blotted with paper towels to prevent extra moisture from watering down the fluff.
Protein Options: Use a casein-whey blend protein powder or collagen peptides—they mix smoothly into heavy cream without leaving a gritty texture.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. (Add banana slices right before serving if prepping multiple days in advance to prevent browning).
