Thankfully, that’s precisely what this recipe delivers.
Keto Raspberry Mousse
I have spoiled my family and friends by always sharing a dessert at the end of a meal. If you’re a guest at my home, you can count on having some sort of treat.
I assume it’s something I picked up from my mom, who modeled this beautifully for me. Without a doubt, it’s also something my daughter also does.
But when the dessert needs to be healthy, keto-friendly, and quick, well, that’s where this recipe fits the bill.
Since this is not a complex dessert, it’s one you can whip up quickly, making it perfect for busy weekdays or any time guests drop by.
Why not use it to layer some on our famous keto pound cake? I promise that it will impress even those who are not doing a ketogenic diet.
How To Make A Keto Raspberry Mousse
Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links, meaning at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase.
To make you’ll need either fresh or frozen raspberries. I try to use fresh whenever possible, but I know that using fresh raspberries when out of season can get pricy. So I want to reassure you that you can also use frozen raspberries here.
If you opt to go that route, allow the raspberries to defrost thoroughly before you use them in the recipe. It just makes it easier when mixing.
This low-carb raspberry mousse calls for cream cheese. The cream cheese helps with stability and makes the mousse extra smooth and creamy.
Some people may call this a keto cheesecake fluff, and I guess they would be correct since it is ultra-light and fluffy, but to my family, it has a mousse-like quality, so I went with that.
To make this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients. Note that the full printable recipe card is at the end of the post.
- Full-fat cream cheese softened
- Heavy whipping cream cold
- Lemon juice
- Raspberries fresh or frozen
- Sugar-substitute, granulated
- Fresh lemon zest
- Lemon extract
Tips And Tools
You’ll need just a few tools to make this recipe, most of which you hopefully already have on hand.
The recipe calls for an electric mixer and a 4-quart glass bowl. I love using my stand-up mixer because it makes things even faster, and of course, it already has its built-in bowl.
You’ll need to beat the softened cream cheese, sugar substitute, lemon juice, lemon zest, and raspberries. Remember, if using frozen berries, allow the raspberries to thaw.
Then add the cold heavy whipping cream and beat until light and fluffy and well combined.
Tips To Keep In Mind
Note that the cream cheese needs to be softened. Otherwise, it will cause the dessert to be lumpy.
You’ll want to use very cold whipping cream so that when beaten, it has the perfect airy consistency and that the raspberries are thawed if frozen.
Best Sugar-Substitutes For Raspberry Mousse
I have several options regarding which sweetener you can use in this sugar-free cheesecake mousse fluff. I am partial to Lakanto Monk Fruit.
Would you like to save this?
Lakanto Monk Fruit is my favorite because the texture and flavor are the closest to natural sugar. And the flavor fools your taste buds like nothing else on the market.
I’m also partial to the brand Swerve, which is an erythritol blend. Like Lakanto, it uses sugar alcohols and has a 0 % impact on blood sugar.
You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure if you prefer a stevia-based sweetener.
Remember that if this is your pick, make sure you reduce the amount called for in the recipe by half since it’s a much sweeter option.
Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with success. I know not everyone would agree with me here, and I respect that, but in my book, it’s still better than regular sugar.
