Keto Pistachio Fluff

My recipe for keto pistachio fluff is a so simple and requires no cooking or baking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a delicious keto dessert in no time. 

If you are a fan of pistachio-based recipes that can silence your sweet tooth, you’ve come to the right place. 

This delicious recipe is perfect for any occasion, but thanks to its lovely hint of green, it’s perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, or Christmas.

This green fluff recalls memories of the classic “Watergate salad” but with a healthy twist.

I promise you won’t miss the maraschino cherries, seed oil-rich Cool Whip, mini marshmallows, or pistachio pudding mix in this great make-ahead recipe!

Consider it a low-carb version that the whole family will love without the need for extra carbs.

Made with only natural ingredients and clocking in at only 3.5 g net carbs per serving; it’s a pistachio fluff salad that makes pistachio flavor the star without ruining your keto diet goals.

Do you know that the original Watergate salad recipe can have up to 38 g of carbohydrates per cup?

That dessert salad may be tasty, but that green goop is a big no-no for anyone trying to stabilize their blood sugar levels. 

It’s why I wanted to make a keto Watergate salad that you’ll be proud to serve your family.

I have a keto pistachio no-bake cheesecake that was a huge hit with our followers. This pistachio delight was inspired by that wonderful recipe, which makes it perfect for family gatherings. 

Keto Watergate Salad

With some clever ingredient swaps, you can enjoy a pistachio salad that will rival the classic recipe the Watergate Hotel became famous for. 

There is no need to add high-carb ingredients to get the flavor of the popular old-fashioned recipe. Tasty childhood memories will come flooding back without gobs of sugar. You’re welcome!

How To Make A Keto Pistachio Dump Salad

To prepare this dessert salad, start by beating softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar substitute, pistachio extract, pineapple extract, green food coloring, and salt in a large bowl on high speed.

Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl several times to ensure all ingredients are well-mixed.

Next, add the cold, heavy whipping cream to the cream cheese mixture and whip for 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture is fully combined and achieves a light, airy texture.

Gently fold in the sugar-free coconut flakes until they are fully incorporated. Finally, sprinkle the top with chopped pistachios for added crunch.

For a creamy version, leave out the coconut flakes and add one teaspoon of coconut extract instead.

Store the pistachio salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days, or freeze it for up to three weeks for later enjoyment.

Sugar Substitute Options

When it comes to choosing which sugar substitute to use for this sugar-free pistachio recipe, I have several for you to choose from.

My absolute favorite is Lakanto Monk Fruit, probably because the texture is spot on, and there is barely any aftertaste. 

I am also partial to the brand Swerve, which is an erythritol blend.

Like Lakanto, it uses sugar alcohol and has a 0% impact on blood sugar. This, my friend, is a major win! You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure for this cheesecake recipe.

But if using Pyure, you will want to use half the amount called for since it’s a lot sweeter. Lastly, if you can easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with great success.
