A light, creamy, and tangy dessert that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while staying low-carb. This no-bake mousse is quick to whip up and makes an elegant treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 packet sugar-free lemonade powder (single-serving size)
  • Lemon zest (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and lump-free.
  2. Add Flavoring: Mix in the sugar-free lemonade powder until fully combined and fragrant.
  3. Incorporate Heavy Cream: Gradually pour in the cold heavy whipping cream while mixing on medium speed. Increase to high speed once it thickens, whipping until soft peaks form and the mousse is light and fluffy.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness or tanginess if needed by adding more lemonade powder or a splash of lemon juice.
  5. Portion and Chill: Spoon or pipe into serving dishes. For best results, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Top with lemon zest or decorative lemon peel flowers for an elegant finish.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve in dessert glasses or ramekins for a polished look. Pair with fresh berries or keto-friendly cookies for added texture.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Use cold heavy cream to ensure it whips up quickly.
  • Soften the cream cheese fully to avoid lumps in the mousse.
  • For extra tanginess, add a pinch of lemon zest to the mousse mixture.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Stir gently before serving if the mousse separates slightly over time.
  • Freezing is not recommended as it may alter the texture.
