A rich, creamy and refreshing low-carb yogurt dessert made with full-fat Greek yogurt, heavy cream, and a naturally vibrant raspberry swirl. No sugar, honey, flour, or cornstarch.
🥣 Ingredients
For the Creamy Yogurt
- 2 cups (480 g) full-fat unsweetened Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup (60 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2–3 tbsp powdered erythritol or monk-fruit sweetener, to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
For the Berry Swirl
- ½ cup (60–70 g) fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 tbsp powdered keto sweetener
- 1 tsp chia seeds, optional, for thickening
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Optional Topping
- A few fresh raspberries
- 1 tbsp chopped pecans or almonds
- 1–2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Raspberry Swirl
Add the raspberries, 1 tablespoon keto sweetener, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice to a small saucepan.
Cook over medium-low heat for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Gently mash the berries with the back of a spoon as they soften.
Step 2: Thicken the Berry Sauce
Once the raspberries become soft and saucy, stir in 1 teaspoon chia seeds if using.
Cook for another 1–2 minutes, stirring continuously.
Remove from the heat and let the berry mixture cool completely.
The sauce should be thick enough to create visible swirls rather than becoming watery.
Step 3: Make the Creamy Yogurt
Add the Greek yogurt to a medium mixing bowl.
Add:
- Heavy cream
- Powdered keto sweetener
- Vanilla extract
- Lemon juice
Whisk everything together until smooth, thick, and creamy.
Taste and add a little more sweetener if needed.
Step 4: Add the Berry Swirl
Spoon the cooled raspberry mixture over the yogurt.
Using a spoon or spatula, gently fold the berries through the yogurt 2–4 times.
Don’t completely mix it.
You want beautiful pink-and-white berry swirls throughout the yogurt.
Step 5: Portion the Yogurt
Divide the creamy berry yogurt between 4 small serving bowls or glasses.
For a prettier presentation, add a little yogurt first, followed by a small spoonful of berry sauce, then another layer of yogurt.
Finish with a gentle swirl on top.
Step 6: Chill
Cover the bowls and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
For an even thicker and colder dessert, chill for 2–3 hours.
Step 7: Add the Toppings
Just before serving, add a few fresh raspberries and, if desired, a small sprinkle of chopped pecans or unsweetened coconut.
Serve chilled.
🥄 Texture & Taste
The finished yogurt should be:
- Creamy and thick

💡 Helpful Keto Tips
- Always choose unsweetened, full-fat Greek yogurt.
- Check the yogurt label because some flavored yogurts contain added sugar.
- Use powdered sweetener so the yogurt doesn’t become gritty.
- Raspberries are a good berry choice for keeping the recipe relatively low in carbohydrates.
- Don’t add honey, maple syrup, regular sugar, or cornstarch.
- If you want a thicker dessert, refrigerate it overnight.
❄️ Storage
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For the best texture and flavor, keep it chilled until ready to serve.
