Keto Lemon Mousse

If you’re following a keto diet and missing desserts, I’ve got good news for you. Today we’re making a keto lemon whipped cream that’s so good, you won’t believe it’s low-carb. This recipe is perfect for when you want something sweet but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen.

Keto Lemon Mousse

What’s great about this recipe is that it uses ingredients you probably already have in your keto kitchen. Heavy cream is a keto staple, and if you do any low-carb baking, you likely have a keto-friendly sweetener on hand. Add in some extracts for flavor, and you’re all set.

One thing I love about this recipe is how it proves that keto doesn’t have to be boring. Sure, meat and vegetables are great, but sometimes you want something a little more indulgent.

💡Tips

1. Experiment with Flavors

While this recipe calls for lemon extract, don’t be afraid to try other flavors. Vanilla extract is a classic choice that goes well with almost anything. You could also try almond extract, mint extract, or even a bit of cocoa powder for a chocolate version.

If you want to stick with the citrus theme, orange or lime extract could be delicious too. Just remember that extracts are very concentrated, so start with a small amount and add more to taste.

2. Serving Suggestions

This keto lemon whipped cream is versatile and can be used in many ways. Try it as a topping for fresh berries – strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries are all great low-carb options.

You could also use it to top a cup of keto-friendly hot chocolate or coffee for a special treat.

If you make keto pancakes or waffles, a dollop of this whipped cream can take them to the next level. For a simple dessert, layer the whipped cream with crushed nuts and a few berries in a glass for a quick parfait.
