Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice 2-3 lemons
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form (about 2-3 minutes). Set aside.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add the powdered monk fruit sweetener, lemon juice, and vanilla extract and whip until combined. This will take 2-3 minutes.
  • Fold in the whipped heavy cream.
  • Transfer the lemon mousse to individual containers, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve with lemon wedges if desired!

Notes

  1. This makes 4 smaller servings, or 2 generous servings! You can easily double or triple this recipe to make more servings for a crowd! 
  2. I like to transfer the mousse to a ziplock bag, cut the tip off, and then pipe it into containers. I found it looked nicer than just spooning it in. 
  3. This is a shortcut mousse recipe that has a nice fluffy texture without being too dense or falling. It also makes a yummy fruit dip!
  4. Powdered monk fruit sugar is essential in this recipe. I tried using regular granulated monk fruit and the texture was very gritty. Powdered is the way to go. You can also just use regular powdered sugar if you don’t need this to be keto/low carb. 
  5. Use full fat cream cheese for the best results.
