Low Carb Keto Raspberry Fool!
I don't know about you but in the summer and warmer months I'm all about no baking recipes! I am a sucker for creamy, smooth in texture desserts that require little effort and time in the kitchen but are elegant enough to serve to company!
This dessert fits the bill! Made in under 15 minutes, seriously, it doesn't get any easier. Layered between sugar free whipped cream and topped with fresh berries. How could you not love this?
If you're unfamiliar with what a Raspberry Fool dessert might be, here's the low down on this funny named dessert.
According to Wikipedia, a Fool, is an English dessert, but no one knows why exactly the term Fool came to be known for it. Either way it's a crushed fruit mixed with a sweet cream or custard.
Not a fan of raspberries? Change them out for another berry like strawberry or blueberries even. This light dessert will be a welcome treat on a hot summer day!

I haven't been able to get used to Stevia. I find that it has a bitter aftertaste...maybe it is just the brands I have tried.
Do all Stevia products leave that aftertaste? Or is it just my sweet tooth complaining like crazy because I am trying to fool it? LOl!
Brenda
I've been using it for a long time and don't notice much aftertaste, but I always use the Sweetleaf brand as I find them the best.

I find I rather like Truvia which is a mixture of Stevia and Erythritol. To me it doesn't have the after taste of straight Stevia.

I love the simplicity of "fool" desserts. They're easy and so wonderfully tasty!

Hi Brenda, is there a difference between cream and whipping cream? I ask because I'm allergic to dairy and I've seen soy cream but not soy whipping cream. I love your site because I'm allergic to dairy, nuts, etc., etc., and my boyfriend is a diabetic so your site is an AWESOME to go for both of us! Thank you!
Brenda
There is a difference so I would say if you need to use dairy free, use my dairy free whipped cream in place of the heavy cream I used. https://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/dairy-free-sugar-free-whipped-cream/

Raspberries are my absolutely favorite berry. Perfect summer dessert!
Jen
I don't have those flavored stevia drops. Would it work to use a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a teaspoon of plain stevia drops?
Ginny McMeans
I love all the berries varieties and you did a great job here!

These will be easy to make and they provide for a beautiful presentation. I think Jill just made a mistake like we all do sometimes. Praise God that He forgives us for all of our mistakes. 🙂

Stevia is added sugar. I thought this would be a blog without added sugar sources. Those include stevia, honey, molasses and syrup. I work with a Registered Dietitian, and she let me know that these are all added sugar sources.
From American Heart Association Website:
You need to read the ingredient list on a processed food’s label to tell if the product contains added sugars. Some names for added sugars include agave syrup, brown sugar, corn sweetener, corn syrup, sugar molecules ending in “ose” (dextrose, fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, sucrose), high-fructose corn syrup, fruit juice concentrate, honey, invert sugar, malt sugar, molasses, raw sugar, sugar, syrup.

Stevia is NOT listed in the link you provided. Where are you reading stevia as listed from what you just shared? I don't see it. You are misinformed. Stevia is a natural plant source that is completely sugar free and is in no way similar to sugar. Wikipedia: "The plant Stevia rebaudiana has been used for more than 1,500 years by the Guaraní peoples of South America, who called it ka'a he'ê ("sweet herb").[11] The leaves have been used traditionally for hundreds of years in both Brazil and Paraguay to sweeten local teas and medicines, and as a "sweet treat". To produce rebaudioside A commercially, stevia plants are dried and subjected to a water extraction process. " And another source: "Sugar or sucrose is extracted from sugar cane and sugar beets that have been mostly grown in tropical climates. Most plants contain sugar in their tissues, but only sugar beets and sugar cane contain enough to be efficiently extracted and turned into white crystalline table sugar. In contrast, stevia is extracted from stevia rebaudiana, a member of the chrysanthemum family and a wild herb native to Paraguay and Brazil. The leaves of the stevia plant contain substances called glycosides that give it its sweet flavor, but is naturally sugar free. Comparatively, stevia is 30 times sweeter than sugar in its whole leaf form and almost 300 times sweeter once it has been refined."
