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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Once combined, spoon the lemon mousse into serving glasses or bowls.
Step 7
Refrigerate the mousse for at least one hour before serving to allow it to set and for the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Garnish with additional lemon zest or a slice of lemon before serving if desired.
