Strawberry season means I am craving a good Keto Strawberry Shortcake Recipe. Since berries are one of the fruits that are lowest in carbs, I knew I could tweak my 90-second bread recipe to make a shortcake base that would be perfect for fresh, flavorful berries all season long.
Keto Strawberry Shortcake Recipe
My very favorite dessert is Strawberry Shortcake. My grandmother used to make a six 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 keto friendly 90-second cake recipe version. It took many different trials and errors in my test kitchen for this Keto Strawberry Shortcake before settling on THE ONE.
When a sweet craving hits, you’ll be shocked to see how fast you can whip up this delicious 90-Second Keto Strawberry Shortcake using the microwave oven. With just a few ingredients, it’s nice to be able to make an individual serving without having to invest a lot of time in the kitchen.
Tip: I wouldn’t eat this cake without some kind o topping as I find most keto type cakes are generally dry due to the keto friendly flours we use in keto desserts. Don’t worry, fresh strawberries and whipping cream come to the rescue and make this cake moist and delicious. Take note: It’s important to make this cake very thin. I used a 6″ glass dish. Other cakes that I made that were thicker didn’t turn out as moist.
Tip: The longer you allow your strawberries to soak in the Lakanto Monkfruit Powered Sweetener the sweeter they taste.
I think this Keto Strawberry Shortcake is even better if you pop it in the fridge for a little while so that the strawberry juice saturates into the cake before adding the whipping cream. You can top the Low Carb Strawberry Shortcake with homemade sugar-free whipped cream or sugar-free RediWhip (if you are okay with the ingredients).
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 sure that this is a way of life I could stick to forever and ever! Strawberry Shortcake is one of my very favorite desserts and now I can make a keto friendly version quickly when the cravings hit.

K&E at Twinning Store says
Wow this looks good! Need to try <3 Thanks for sharing. Xoxo, K&E
Kasey says
Sure! I hope you enjoy it.
Tom says
I hate the taste of coconut. Can I use my almond flour?
Thanks
Kasey says
Yes, but it is not a 1:1 sub. Typically it is 1/4 cup coconut flour = 1 cup almond flour.
Carleen Bruce says
Does the 3 carbs include everything or just the cake?
Kasey says
It only includes the ingredients listed in the recipe so it is the cake and strawberries.
Joy A Trottier says
I really like recipes for one. It is so easy to overeat desserts, and hard to leave the leftovers alone. This yummy treat is just right, and there are no leftovers calling your name at 9pm! I will be watching for more small-batch or single serving recipe’s!!!
Rosalie says
If I wanted to cook cake in oven what would you suggest for temperature and cooking time? Merry
Kasey says
I would bake in a 350 degree oven and just check it until it is done.
Kelly says
Is it really only 1 1/2 TEASPOONS of cream cheese?
Kasey says
Yes. It is only a tiny little one serving cake.
Evelynn says
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.
Kasey says
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.
Stefanie says
Oh my goodness, so delicious!
Kasey says
I’m so glad you loved it!
Kasey says
Glad you loved it!
Jane Gagliano says
How do I make this for a family instead of a single serving? The was outstanding!
Kasey says
I have only made one serving of this. I haven’t made a larger one.
Lauren T says
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?
Kasey says
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.
Hazel says
Thank you for sharing it. It was amazeeee!!!
Kasey says
Yay! So glad you loved it.
Jacqueline Coutch says
I keep reading that Swerve doesn’t add carbs to a recipe. What is the nutritional facts on using it.
Cassandra says
What are the exact total net carbs? The nutrition info says 8 carbs and 2 g fiber but I’m reading comments that say 3 net carbs? I’m confused
Kasey says
Each serving has 6 net carbs per the recipe card.
Regina says
Could this be used as a pancake?
Kasey says
Never tried that. Let me know how it turns out!
Lynn Sharpe says
Can u use sweetener instead of monkfruit powder?? Cause I have no idea what that is,can someone tell me thank u lynn
Mary Trenum says
Monkfruit Powdered is a low carb, sugar-free sweetener that is keto-friendly. My other suggestion would be to use Swerve Confectioners.
Evy says
Can you use anything else besides egg white? I have an inflammatory response to egg whites. I can make a whole egg out of gelatin or chia but since you’re asking for the white only I don’t know how this would work. Thanks
.Kasey says
I’ve only fixed the recipe as is so I’m not sure what you could use instead of egg whites.
