Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup Powdered erythritol (or preferred powdered low carb sweetener)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Lemon juice (optional, for tanginess)
- Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove the cream cheese from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften for easier mixing.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with the electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as it can turn into butter.
Gradually add the powdered erythritol to the beaten cream cheese, mixing well until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the vanilla extract and optional lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula. Do this slowly to keep the mixture light and airy.
Divide the cheesecake mousse evenly into serving glasses or bowls. Use a piping bag for a more decorative presentation, if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the mousse to firm up.
Optional: Garnish with fresh berries or additional whipped cream before serving. Enjoy!
