Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1/4 cup Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1/3 cup Powdered erythritol (sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Chill a medium-sized mixing bowl and the beaters of your hand mixer in the freezer for about 10 minutes to ensure that the cream whips well.
In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer, blend the mixture on medium speed until it is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps from the cream cheese.
In the chilled mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Whip on medium to high speed until soft peaks form, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon-cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; use a light hand to maintain the mousse's fluffy texture.
Once combined, spoon the lemon mousse into serving glasses or bowls.
Refrigerate the mousse for at least one hour before serving to allow it to set and for the flavors to meld together.
Garnish with additional lemon zest or a slice of lemon before serving if desired.
