Keto Lemon Mousse 🍋

This Keto Lemon Mousse is a light, refreshing dessert that’s low in carbs but full of zesty lemon flavor. Made with simple ingredients like heavy cream, lemon, and sweeteners, it’s perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without breaking your keto lifestyle!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1-2 lemons)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional garnish: lemon slices or fresh mint leaves

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Whipping Cream:
    In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer or a hand whisk until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes on medium-high speed.
  2. Add Sweetener and Flavor:
    Once the cream is whipped, add the powdered erythritol, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue whipping the mixture until stiff peaks form and everything is fully incorporated (about 1-2 more minutes).
  1. Taste and Adjust:
    Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness or lemon flavor by adding more sweetener or lemon juice if desired.
  2. Chill the Mousse:
    Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to set and chill.
  3. Serve:
    Before serving, garnish with extra lemon zest, lemon slices, or fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.

Tips:

  • You can use any keto-approved sweetener of your choice, such as stevia or monk fruit sweetener, adjusting to taste.
  • For extra flavor, add a little bit of lemon extract in addition to the fresh lemon juice and zest.
  • This mousse can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.

This Keto Lemon Mousse is a delightful, creamy dessert that’s perfect for keto dieters, offering a fresh citrus burst in every spoonful.
