My hubby loves this stuff! He can eat like 10 jars at once!

For those embarking on a low carb or keto journey, indulging in sweet treats can often feel like a distant memory. This keto strawberry mousse, however, brings back the joy of dessert with a deliciously creamy texture and bursts of fresh strawberry flavor. Originating from French cuisine, mousse traditionally means 'foam,' characterized by its light and airy consistency. This recipe swaps out the sugar for keto-friendly sweeteners, making it a perfect option for those looking to satisfy their sweet tooth without breaking their dietary goals.

This delightful keto strawberry mousse pairs exceptionally well with a light almond flour cookie or a handful of toasted nuts for added crunch. For a more elaborate dessert, consider layering the mousse with low carb granola and fresh berries in a parfait glass. If you’re serving it as part of a larger meal, it makes a perfect refreshing finish after a rich and hearty main course like grilled steak or roasted chicken.

Servings: 4

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
1/4 cup erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp lemon juice
A pinch of salt

1. In a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries until smooth. Pass the puree through a fine sieve to remove seeds, if desired.

2. Transfer the strawberry puree to a medium bowl and stir in the erythritol, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.

3. In a large bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.

4. Gently fold the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream until fully incorporated and smooth.

5. Spoon the mousse into serving cups and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.

6. Before serving, you can optionally garnish with fresh strawberry slices and a sprig of mint.

For a different flavor profile, try using raspberries or blueberries in place of the strawberries. If you’d like to add a bit more texture, consider folding in some finely chopped nuts or unsweetened coconut flakes. Additionally, for a more indulgent mousse, you can incorporate a small amount of softened cream cheese into the strawberry mixture before folding it into the whipped cream, resulting in a richer, cheesecake-like consistency.
