Low-Carb Raspberry Cheesecake Mousse
Indulge in this creamy and delicious low-carb raspberry cheesecake mousse. It's a quick and easy dessert that's perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings without the guilt.
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream Cheese
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/4 cup Erythritol or Monk Fruit Sweetener
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Fresh or Frozen Raspberries
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
Prepare the Raspberry Puree
In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the raspberries have softened and released their juices. Mash the raspberries with a fork to create a puree. Let cool slightly.
Whip the Cream Cheese
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add Sweetener and Vanilla
Add the erythritol or monk fruit sweetener and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined.
Whip the Heavy Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Combine and Fold
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to overmix.
Swirl in Raspberry Puree
Gently swirl the cooled raspberry puree into the mousse. Do not fully mix it in, as you want to maintain the raspberry swirls.
Chill and Serve
Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or glasses. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh raspberries if desired.
