This recipe is a variation of my Low Carb Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream! I’ve just made it into salad form, and is a wonderful dessert for anyone following a low carb, high fat diet.
Add cream cheese and heavy cream to a stand mixer. I use reduced fat cream cheese, because as you’ll see from my comparison it makes no difference in carbs, but is better for anyone else in my house who wants to share the dish! When it has combined, add more heavy cream.
Too add extra flavor and sweetness to the salad, I crushed up some unsweetened freeze dried strawberries into powder using the blade attachment of my stick blender. I get my strawberries from Nuts.com but you could also get them from Amazon or LC Foods.
Add the strawberry powder to the cream mixture, plus some sugar free sweetening syrup (although you might not need this if your strawberries are super sweet). Mix until fully combined.
Hull and chop some fresh strawberries. As ever, my handy huller tool makes this a quick task! Add the strawberries and some almond flour to the cream mixture and stir by hand. The almond flour gives the salad a subtle nutty flavor.
Spoon everything into a serving dish and keep in the fridge until ready to serve!

So glad you enjoyed it!
What other flours can you substitute with. Can’t do nut or coconut. Would sunflower work?
I’ve never tried sunflower flour I’m afraid! If you try it please let me know how it goes!
Can you use fresh strawberries instead of the freeze dried?
I personally like the combination of both, but if you try it with just fresh please let me know how it turns out!
Love the idea of using almond flour to add a nutty flavor! I bet this would be good in a blueberry version too! Pinned, and thanks! -G
Yes! Blueberries would work really well too!!
love the name!!!..like ginger root;)
Looks yummy (wish the font were darker so it was easier to read… but other than that looks AMAZING !!)
Made a couple minor changes to the recipe. Omitted the freeze dried strawberries and increased the fresh strawberries. Used 2 packets of Splenda Naturals instead of the sweetening syrup. Finally, added 1/2 a container of truwhip. It was delicious, so easy! Will definitely make again and again and again 🙂
Sounds good, Linda!!
