π Ingredients
Keto Mousse Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tbsp powdered keto sweetener (monk fruit or erythritol blend)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Why These Ingredients Work
- Heavy cream whips into a soft, fluffy texture that forms the base of the mousse.
- Powdered sweetener blends smoothly without graininess.
- Vanilla adds warmth and a classic dessert aroma.
- Salt enhances sweetness and balances flavors.
π Ingredient Notes
- Heavy Whipping Cream: Ensure itβs cold β cold cream whips faster and gives a better mousse texture.
- Sweetener: Powdered sweeteners are best; granular sweeteners wonβt dissolve completely and may leave a gritty texture.
- Flavor Variations:
- Add cocoa powder for chocolate mousse.
- Add lemon zest for a refreshing citrus mousse.
- Add a spoonful of peanut butter for a rich, nutty twist.
π©βπ³ Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare Your Mixing Bowl
Start by placing your mixing bowl in the fridge for 5 minutes. Using a cold bowl helps the cream whip faster and gives a more stable mousse.
2. Add Heavy Cream
Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, begin whipping on medium speed until the cream thickens slightly.
3. Add Sweetener & Vanilla
Once the cream starts forming soft peaks, add powdered keto sweetener, vanilla extract, and a small pinch of sea salt. These ingredients melt beautifully into the cream, creating a smooth, luscious texture.
4. Whip to Fluffy Perfection
Increase your mixer speed to medium-high and whip until stiff peaks form. The mousse should be fluffy, velvety, and hold its shape perfectly without being over-whipped. Youβre looking for a cloud-like consistency that feels airy but rich.
5. Serve or Chill
Spoon the mousse into small dessert cups or pipe it using a pastry bag for a fancy presentation. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to let the flavors fully develop.
