🍋 Keto Cheesecake Mousse (Cheesecake Fluff)

This light and airy dessert takes only five minutes to prepare and delivers a rich, tangy flavor with only 2 g net carbs per serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250g) Cream cheese

  • 1 cup (240 ml) Heavy (double) cream

  • ¼ cup (40g) Powdered sweetener (use ⅓ cup / 60g for extra sweetness)

  • 1 tsp Lemon juice

  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

  • Zest of 1 lemon

  • Optional: ½ cup (60g) raspberries or other berries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sweetener, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla. Beat with a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

  2. Whip the Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until it reaches thick, firm peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.

  3. Fold Together: Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Continue folding until the mousse is light and fluffy, ensuring you don’t deflate the cream.

  4. Serve: Spoon or pipe the mixture into 6 individual bowls or glasses. Garnish with berries, extra zest, or mint if desired.
