Ingredients

  • 6 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest, plus more for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold

Directions

  1. Whip the cold cream in a chilled bowl to stiff peaks. Set aside.
  2. In a second bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sweetener until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon extract and salt.
  3. Stir one third of the whipped cream into the lemon base to loosen it, then gently fold in the rest until no streaks remain.
  4. Spoon or pipe into 4 small glasses. Chill 1 hour to firm.
  5. Garnish with a little extra lemon zest before serving.
Tip: Keep the lemon juice to 2 tablespoons. More thins the mousse, so the extract and zest carry the extra lemon flavor.
Dad jokeI made lemon mousse for the family reunion. Everyone said it was zest dessert they ever had.
