Keto Strawberry Mousse: A Low-Carb Delight

For those starting a low-carb or ketogenic journey, indulging in sweets might sometimes seem like a far-off memory. But with a wonderfully creamy texture and bursts of fresh strawberry taste, this keto strawberry mousse brings back the delight of dessert. Originally derived from French cuisine, mousse usually means “foam,” distinguished by its light and airy quality. Perfect for individuals trying to fulfill their sweet tooth without compromising their nutritional objectives, this recipe substitutes keto-friendly sweeteners for the sugar.

For extra crunch, this delicious keto strawberry mousse pairs especially well with a light almond flour cookie or a handful of toasted almonds. Consider layering the mousse in parfait glasses with low-carb granola and fresh berries for a more complex dessert. Serving it as a complement to a more substantial main dish like grilled steak or roasted chicken provides a refreshing conclusion.

This recipe makes four servings of keto strawberry mousse.

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1/4 cup erythritol, or preferred ketogenic sweetener
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• A dash of salt

Instructions

1. 1. Prepare the Strawberry Puree: Puree the strawberries until smooth in a blender or food processor. If preferred, pass the puree through a fine strainer to remove seeds.

1. Mix the Strawberry Mixture: Spoon the strawberry puree into a medium bowl, then whisk in the lemon juice, vanilla extract, and erythritol. Stir until completely mixed.
2. Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream and a dash of salt until firm peaks form.
3. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream until smooth and fully blended.
4. Chill: Spoon the mousse into serving cups and chill for at least one hour to set.
5. Optional Garnish: Before serving, optionally garnish with mint sprigs and fresh strawberry slices.

Variations and Tips

• Different Berries: Swap out the strawberries for blueberries or raspberries for a different flavor experience.
• Added Texture: Fold in finely chopped nuts or unsweetened coconut flakes if you want extra texture.

4. Mix the Ingredients, Wet and Dry:
Toss the dry ingredients with the wet ones and stir until just blended. Do not overmix the dough, since it will result in thick donuts.

5. Put Donut Pan Filling:
Fill up each mold three quarters of the way to the top with batter using the donut pan that you prepared. To make filling the bag simpler, you may use a piping bag or a standard zip-lock bag with one corner cut off.
