The Best Low Carb Dessert Keto Lemon Cheesecake Mousse
Treat yourself to a light, tangy keto lemon cheesecake mousse—sugar-free, low‑carb comfort dessert that satisfies sweet cravings in every spoonful.
Ingredients
Cream cheese (softened)
- Whip cream heavy cream
Fresh lemon juice, fresh lemon, and lemon zest
- Lemon curd store-bought or homemade
Low carb sweetener of choice (e.g., erythritol)
- Optional sugar-free chocolate chips or lemon wedge for garnish
Instructions
Beat the Cream Cheese:
- Use an electric mixer to whip your softened cream cheese until light and fluffy—this prevents lumps in the final mousse.
Whip the Cream Separately:
- Chill your whip cream bowl and beaters, then whip the whip cream to soft peaks. Overbeating will turn it grainy.
Fold Gently:
- Combine the whipped cream cheese and whip cream with your lemon curd and lemon juice and zest using a spatula. This gentle folding keeps the airy texture of a true mousse dessert.
