Keto Desserts can be the Bomb too!

A creamy, cinnamon-kissed spread that’s half veggie, half faux-cheesecake filling, and totally keto-friendly. Slather, swirl, or spoon—your call.

• Ingredients

2 cups steamed butternut squash
½ cup steamed sweet potato
⅔ cup steamed carrots
16 oz cream-cheese-style spread (budget brand)
2 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup monkfruit – erythritol blend

• Instructions

1. While veggies are still warm, mash together; whisk in cinnamon and sweetener until the spice disappears.
2. Soften the cream-cheese blocks by resting the hot bowl on top for 2–3 min.
3. Cube the softened spread with a butter knife, drop into the bowl, and whisk hard until silky.

• Pro Tips

– Blast with an immersion blender 30 s for pastry-level smoothness.
– Optional: add 1 teaspoon vanilla [5] or ¼ teaspoon salt to sharpen sweetness.
– Chill airtight up to 5 days, or freeze 2-Tbsp scoops for grab-and-go portions.

• Serving Ideas

– Spread on low-carb toast with or without peanut butter.
– Stir a ribbon through plain Greek yogurt.
– Warm ¼ cup and drizzle over keto pancakes.
– Frost mini carrot-almond muffins for a quick “cream-cheese” icing vibe.
