Cream cheese brings a little tang and plenty of richness to dessert, whether you’re baking a tray of brownies or putting together a chilled treat.
These keto cream cheese desserts cover cookies, fruit-filled bars, fluffy mousse, fudge and cheesecakes, with options for both everyday cravings and special occasions.
Choose a no-bake recipe when you want to keep the oven off, or try a cake, tart or sweet loaf when you feel like baking.
Check each recipe’s sweetener, ingredient labels and serving size, and allow time for chilling where the recipe calls for it.
