A light, fluffy, and tangy no-bake dessert that fits a ketogenic diet, featuring bright lemon flavor and a creamy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/4 cup powdered keto sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit blend)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Beat the softened cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth.
  2. In a separate, chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gradually add the powdered keto sweetener to the cream cheese mixture, beating until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Mix in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until the mixture is uniform.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions using a spatula until just combined and airy. Do not overmix.
  6. Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or small glasses.
  7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of texture, you can top the mousse with a few crushed keto shortbread cookies before serving.
  • If you prefer a firmer mousse, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin dissolved in 1 tablespoon of hot water to the cream cheese mixture before folding in the whipped cream.
  • Adjust the amount of keto sweetener to match your preferred level of sweetness and tartness.
