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

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned tuna well and place it in a medium-sized bowl.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Using a fork, mash the cream cheese and tuna together until it reaches a smooth consistency.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk the heavy cream until it begins to thicken but not completely whipped.

Step 5

Mix the softened tuna and cream cheese with the slightly thickened heavy cream, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard.

Step 6

Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, stirring well to season the mixture evenly.

Step 7

Gently fold in the freshly chopped parsley to the tuna mixture.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or into individual ramekins.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve the creamy tuna mousse with vegetables, low-carb crackers, or devour it as an indulgent spread.
