Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 ounces each) canned tuna
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna well and place it in a medium-sized bowl.
Add the softened cream cheese to the tuna. It should be soft enough to easily combine, so consider leaving it at room temperature for about 30 minutes before preparation.
Using a fork, mash the cream cheese and tuna together until it reaches a smooth consistency.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the heavy cream until it begins to thicken but not completely whipped.
Mix the softened tuna and cream cheese with the slightly thickened heavy cream, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, stirring well to season the mixture evenly.
Gently fold in the freshly chopped parsley to the tuna mixture.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or into individual ramekins.
Chill the tuna mousse in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up slightly.
Serve the creamy tuna mousse with vegetables, low-carb crackers, or devour it as an indulgent spread.
