Can You Eat Cream Cheese on Keto?
Yes, plain full-fat cream cheese can be included in many low-carb and keto recipes. However, carbohydrate amounts vary between brands, so check the nutrition label of the cream cheese and other ingredients you use.
For the recipes below, I generally recommend using full-fat cream cheese unless the individual recipe specifies otherwise.
What Cream Cheese Is Best for Keto Desserts?
For most of these recipes, use full-fat, plain cream cheese rather than a flavoured cream cheese.
For baked recipes such as cheesecake, a block-style cream cheese can be particularly useful because it has a firmer texture. Always check the recipe you’re making, though, as different brands and varieties can have different moisture and carbohydrate levels.
For the best results, allow refrigerated cream cheese to soften to room temperature when a recipe calls for softened cream cheese. This makes it much easier to beat into a smooth, lump-free mixture.

I’ve shared both chocolate and vanilla extract flavored cream cheese frosting recipes that are perfect enjoyed as a topping for baked treats that are low in grams of net carbs.
