Why You’ll Love This Lemon Mousse Recipe
One of my favorite desserts to make has got to be mousse. It’s such a wonderfully smooth, creamy, and simple dessert to make that I find myself making it on a fairly regular basis. Not to mention it’s quite easy to make the dessert low carb, which is great for those of us living a keto lifestyle. One of my favorite things about this Keto Lemon Mousse is that it only takes five ingredients to make. You’ll most likely have most of the ingredients on hand, and if not, it will cost you next to nothing to grab the ingredients at the store. This recipe only takes a few minutes to whip together. The longest part is letting it refrigerate for a couple of hours before consuming, but let me assure you, it’s well worth the wait! I always like to make a large batch so that I can have some now, then put the rest back in the fridge for later use. I normally like it to last a few days before I end up creating another dessert to curb my sweet tooth.
How To Make Keto Lemon Mousse
Tips for Making Keto Lemon Mousse
Mascarpone cheese is sweet, soft cheese. If you can’t find it, substitute it with ricotta cheese.If you don’t like the flavor of lemon, you can also make a chocolate mousse that’s very similar to the texture and carb count of this lemon version.You can vary the flavors for this mousse, by using orange extract and orange zest for example. Almond mousse with just the extract is also fabulous.This is a very rich sweet treat. Start with 1/4 cup at most per person as it can be very filling.You can also freeze this in small truffle molds. When it’s frozen, pop them out of the molds and store them in the freezer. It’s great for portion control!
How Long Does It Last?
This mousse can last several days in the refrigerator in an air-tight container. For best results, try to enjoy within 3-4 days before the ingredients begin to separate.
What To Eat With This Low Carb Mousse
Lemon mousse is VERY filling, so I often just use a spoon to enjoy it. Adding anything else seems to be overindulgent. That being said, if you’re consuming less than a serving, it can be quite tasty when it is used as a “frosting” on my keto pound cake!
