My very favorite dessert is Strawberry Shortcake. My grandmother used to make a 6 layer strawberry shortcake that was out of this world. With the weather warming up, I’m starting to see fresh strawberries everywhere, which of course makes me start thinking about keto/low carb foods with berries. So far, I’ve made a Lemon Berry Fluff and Mixed Berry Muffins that turned out fantastic! The other day cravings for a Strawberry Shortcake hit me out of nowhere, so I started experimenting with a 90-second cake recipe. Over the past week, I have made this Keto Strawberry Shortcake recipe many different ways with varying ingredients before settling on THE ONE. Now, I wouldn’t eat this cake by itself as I think most keto type cakes alone are kind of dry. Also, it’s important to make this cake very thin. I used a 6″ glass dish. Other cakes that I made that were thicker just weren’t as good since we have to limit the number of berries that we add. I think it is even better if you once you add the strawberry mixture to the cake you pop it in the fridge for a little while so that the strawberry juice begins to saturate the cake. Also, I was lazy and squirted Reddi-Wip on top instead of making homemade whipped topping. I know. I’m sure there are ingredients that aren’t great, but I was SO EXCITED to eat this I just couldn’t make the time to whip up the homemade version. I hope you love this recipe as much as I do. If I hadn’t already used all my strawberries this week testing this recipe, I would make one right now as a special treat to celebrate just how yummy Keto Strawberry Shortcake is to my tummy!
Have you ever seen anything more keto-glorious? Is that even a word? I’m sure it wasn’t until I made this Keto Strawberry Shortcake. Now I know for certain that this is a way of life I could stick to forever and ever!

Wow this looks good! Need to try <3 Thanks for sharing. Xoxo, K&E
Sure! I hope you enjoy it.
Does the 3 carbs include everything or just the cake?
It only includes the ingredients listed in the recipe so it is the cake and strawberries.
If I wanted to cook cake in oven what would you suggest for temperature and cooking time? Merry
I would bake in a 350 degree oven and just check it until it is done.
Is it really only 1 1/2 TEASPOONS of cream cheese?
Yes. It is only a tiny little one serving cake.
This was amazing! We didn’t have strawberries so we put a few raspberries on top with a bit of homemade whipped cream. The cake was perfect.
Awesome! My mom brought my kids a pound cake with strawberries this weekend when she came to visit. I whipped up this strawberry shortcake instead and it was to totally satisfying.
Oh my goodness, so delicious!
I’m so glad you loved it!
Glad you loved it!
How do I make this for a family instead of a single serving? The was outstanding!
I have only made one serving of this. I haven’t made a larger one.
Thank you for the recipe I made it for my little 2 yo diabetic son for his bday he loves whip cream and strawberries. The cake tasted a bit egg like I wonder how I can fix that?
My 14 yr old daughter has been diabetic since she was 3. From one Type 1 momma to another, I understand our life taking care of our babies. The texture for low carb breads is just very different than their gluten filled full of carbs counterpart.
