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). You could also substitute a few drops of liquid stevia or low carb liquid sweetener of choice! 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!

June 13, 2017 at 2:14 pmWhat other flours can you substitute with. Can’t do nut or coconut. Would sunflower work?
Georgina says
June 14, 2017 at 6:04 amI’ve never tried sunflower flour I’m afraid! If you try it please let me know how it goes!

June 16, 2017 at 5:53 pmCan you use fresh strawberries instead of the freeze dried?
Georgina says
June 21, 2017 at 3:24 pmI personally like the combination of both, but if you try it with just fresh please let me know how it turns out!

June 22, 2017 at 9:03 pmLove 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

December 28, 2017 at 7:22 pmMade 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 🙂

February 5, 2019 at 1:17 pmWhat about trying sugar free gelatin powder? Instead of freeze dried ?
Georgina says
February 5, 2019 at 4:23 pmIt might get too sweet – and not everyone can have the sweetener in sugar free Jello. But if you try it, let me know how it turns out!
