Ingredients
| Ingredient | Purpose |
|---|---|
| 1 cup heavy whipping cream | Creates a creamy and luscious base. |
| 4 oz cream cheese, softened | Adds tanginess and ensures a smooth texture. |
| 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener) | Sweetens without adding carbs. |

Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until silky and lump-free. - Incorporate Sweetener & Flavorings
Blend in the powdered erythritol, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until fully combined. The mixture should be thick and tangy. - Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream using a mixer at medium-high speed until soft peaks form (about 2-3 minutes). The cream should hold shape but have a gentle droop when lifted. - Combine & Fold
Gradually fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in small portions, starting with about one-third. Continue folding in the remaining whipped cream until fully incorporated, ensuring the mousse remains airy and light. - Chill & Set
Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or pipe it elegantly using a star-tip nozzle. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to let the flavors meld and the mousse set. - Serve & Enjoy
Garnish with extra lemon zest, fresh berries, or a sprig of mint for a sophisticated finish. Indulge guilt-free in this keto-friendly treat!
