Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered erythritol (or less to taste)
- 1/8 teaspoon stevia concentrated powder (optional)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (or regular heavy cream)
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese: Beat the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Mix Sweeteners and Extracts: Add the powdered erythritol, optional stevia concentrated powder, vanilla extract, and lemon extract to the cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, use a mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, indicating the cream is fully aerated and holds shape.
- Fold Whipped Cream into Cream Cheese Mixture: Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until incorporated, then fold in the remaining whipped cream carefully to maintain the mousse’s light texture.
- Beat Until Fluffy: Use an electric mixer on high speed to beat the combined mixture until it is light and fluffy, enhancing the mousse’s airy consistency.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the mousse for at least two hours to let it set and develop flavor. Serve by piping or spooning into individual dishes, optionally topped with fresh fruit or sugar-free chocolate for added taste and decoration.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the mousse.
- Adjust erythritol quantity to your desired sweetness level.
- Stevia powder is optional but can enhance sweetness without adding calories.
- Use heavy whipping cream for best texture; regular heavy cream works but may affect stability slightly.
- Refrigeration time is important to allow the mousse to firm up properly.
- Optional toppings like fresh berries or sugar-free chocolate add flavor and presentation appeal.
