Required Equipment

• Mixing bowl: A large mixing bowl will make it easier to combine the ingredients. You’ll want to have enough room to whip the cream into stiff peaks, so a spacious bowl is a must.
• Hand mixer: If you’re short on time or don’t have the patience for mixing by hand, a hand mixer works wonders to get that whipped cream texture. It makes the mousse light and airy, giving it that perfect smoothness.
• Spatula: You’ll want a spatula for gently folding the mousse together and for scraping every last bit into your serving bowls.
• Measuring spoons and cups: Accuracy with your measurements will help ensure the mousse turns out just right! They’re also essential when you’re adding sweetener and vanilla extract.
• Serving glasses or bowls: To create that stunning layered look with the berries and mousse, use clear glass bowls or serving glasses. It’s not only beautiful but helps you see the layers of berries and mousse.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream: This provides the mousse with a rich, creamy texture. If you prefer, you can substitute it with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
• 1/4 cup sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit): A keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol gives the mousse a perfect level of sweetness without adding carbs. You can adjust the sweetness according to your taste preference.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract: Adds that warm, aromatic flavor that complements the creaminess of the mousse. If you’re out of vanilla, you can use almond extract for a subtle twist.
• 8 oz cream cheese: Full-fat cream cheese adds richness and a tangy flavor that balances the sweetness. You could also use mascarpone cheese if you prefer a different texture.
• 1/4 cup blueberries: Blueberries are low in carbs and high in antioxidants, making them a perfect keto-friendly fruit. You can swap them with raspberries or blackberries if you like.
• 1/4 cup sliced strawberries: Strawberries are naturally sweet and low in carbs. You could use other berries like raspberries or even a mixture of all three!

How to Make Keto Berry Creamy Mousse

1. Prepare the ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature so it blends smoothly into the mousse.
2. Mix the base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, sweetener, vanilla extract, and softened cream cheese. Using a hand mixer, beat the ingredients on high until stiff peaks form. This step is key for getting that light, fluffy mousse texture.
3. Layer the mousse: Once the mousse base is ready, take your serving glasses or bowls and layer the mousse with the fresh blueberries and strawberries. I love how this looks when you use clear glass dishes—you can see the beautiful contrast of the white mousse and colorful berries.
4. Chill: Place the mousse in the fridge for at least one hour to let the flavors meld together and the mousse set up perfectly.
5. Serve and enjoy: After an hour, your mousse is ready to enjoy! It’s best served chilled, but feel free to top it with more fresh berries if you’d like.

Tips for this Recipe

• If you’re not a fan of whipped cream, you can also use whipped coconut cream as a dairy-free option.
• For a richer mousse, feel free to add a bit of unsweetened cocoa powder to make it a chocolate-berry mousse!
• If the mousse isn’t sweet enough for your liking, add more sweetener in small increments until it reaches your desired level of sweetness.

Optional Additions

• Chocolate shavings: A sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings adds an indulgent touch that pairs beautifully with the berries.
• Chopped nuts: For a bit of crunch, try adding some chopped almonds or walnuts on top.

Serving Ideas

This mousse makes for a perfect dessert after a keto-friendly meal. Serve it alongside a nice grilled chicken salad or even as a standalone snack when you’re craving something sweet. It also works wonderfully as part of a brunch spread, especially when served in individual glasses.

Storage Recommendations

The mousse can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Be sure to keep it chilled and covered to maintain its freshness. This mousse is not suitable for freezing as the texture may change.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh? Yes, frozen berries work just as well, though you may want to thaw them before adding them to the mousse to prevent excess moisture.
• Can I make this mousse ahead of time? Absolutely! It’s perfect for prepping in advance. Just refrigerate it for a couple of hours, and it will be ready when you are.
