Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or any other keto-friendly sweetener of your choice)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon gelatin powder (unflavored)
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- Optional: a few drops of yellow food coloring (if you want a brighter yellow color)
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cold water and gelatin powder. Let it sit for a minute to allow the gelatin to bloom.
- In a separate large bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until it reaches soft peaks.
- Gently heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave or on the stovetop until it’s fully dissolved and turns into a clear liquid.
- While still warm, add the lemon zest and stir it into the gelatin mixture.
- Gradually pour the gelatin mixture and lemon juice into the whipped cream while continuously mixing at low speed. Make sure it’s well combined.
- Add the powdered erythritol (or your chosen sweetener) to the mixture. If you want it sweeter, you can adjust the amount of sweetener according to your taste.
- If you desire a brighter yellow color, add a few drops of yellow food coloring and mix well.
- Once all the ingredients are combined, increase the mixer speed to high and whip until the mousse has a fluffy texture and forms stiff peaks.
- Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness or lemon flavor if necessary.
- Transfer the Keto Lemon Mousse to serving dishes or individual cups.
- Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2-3 hours or until it sets and becomes firm.
- Optional: Before serving, you can garnish with some lemon slices, mint leaves, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Enjoy your creamy and tangy Keto Lemon Mousse as a delightful keto-friendly dessert!
