Ingredients

• 227 grams Cream cheese
• 240 ml Heavy cream
• 60 ml Lemon juice
• 50 grams Powdered erythritol (or any low-carb sweetener)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 10 grams Gelatin powder
• 2 tablespoons Water (for blooming gelatin)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of water. Set it aside to bloom for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, and powdered erythritol. Stir until the sweetener has fully dissolved. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm lemon mixture and stir until it is fully dissolved. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks using a hand mixer or stand mixer at high speed.

Step 6

Gradually add the slightly cooled lemon-gelatin mixture to the cream cheese, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon-cream cheese mixture in batches until fully combined and smooth.

Step 8

Spoon the mixture into individual serving glasses or a large serving dish. Smooth the top with a spatula if needed.

Step 9

Refrigerate the dessert for at least 3-4 hours, or until fully set.

Step 10

Garnish with additional lemon zest or a slice of lemon before serving, if desired.
