Ingredients (makes 4–6 servings)

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)

Berry Layer:

  • 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries) – roughly chopped if large
  • 1–2 tbsp erythritol (optional, if berries are tart)

Topping:

  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
  • Extra fresh berries and a maraschino cherry or fresh cherry on top (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  4. If desired, lightly toss the mixed berries with 1–2 tbsp sweetener.
  5. In clear cups or small bowls, layer the cheesecake filling and berries: start with a spoonful of cheesecake mixture, add berries, then repeat until the cup is full.
  6. Top each serving with a generous dollop of freshly whipped cream.
  7. Garnish with extra berries and a cherry on top.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) to let the flavors meld before serving.

Storage Tips

Store in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. The whipped cream topping is best added right before serving. Not ideal for freezing due to the fresh berries and cream.
