Low Carb Raspberry Cheesecake Mousse
What's not to love when a beautiful dessert can be made in minutes that's also healthy too!
When I think of desserts for a holiday, I'm really not into slaving away in the kitchen. For example, Mother's Day is about less work and more relaxing and definitely not complex desserts.
I'd prefer a simple, beautiful treat that requires little work, but still feels luxurious and satisfying and allows me to stay on my ketogenic diet with ease.
This keto cheesecake fluff recipe is a simple adaption of some of my other favorite no bake treats, Mint Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse and Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse. Simple, easy, little effort involved and healthy to boot!
Best Low Carb Sweeteners
You could really change out the fresh raspberries to any fruit of choice, but one thing remains is adding my favorite liquid stevia to the blend. This time being this recipe involves berries, I chose berry flavored stevia.
Of course if you only have vanilla or plain clear you can certainly use that as well. Powdered stevia extract powder would work too but use a tiny amount, but it wouldn't be my first choice as there are better options for a no bake recipe. The liquid mixes in better and no aftertaste is evident.
I've been noticing when I have a no bake dessert recipe the liquid stevia is always my first choice.
When baking the powdered stevia is fine, but with no bake recipes such as this, flavored stevia's only enhance the recipe all the more. Swerve confectioners sweetener is also a fantastic sugar substitute if you don't like stevia.
I steer clear of sugar alcohols like Maltitol and Sorbitol as they cause major GI distress if you consume too much. Artificial sweeteners like Splenda, Aspartame and the sugar alcohols I mentioned are shown in studies to spike blood sugar so for me, those are not sweeteners I use in my keto recipes.
Can I make a crust?
I'm a cheesecake lover for sure even before I started a keto diet, but I've never been fond of the crust, hence this keto raspberry mousse version was created.
You could easily make a cookie crumble to add to the bottom of the glasses if you desire. High Key is a good brand of keto cookies on Amazon.
You could use this crust from my Raspberry Streusel bars which tastes like graham cracker crumbs.
How to Serve
Top with fresh berries and sugar free whipped cream and it's just perfect for a Mother's Day treat, Valentine's day or for any other special occasions!
Guests will have no idea this simple recipe is made without sugar and won't care for that matter. It's so satisfying because of the healthy fat, just a small amount is all you need to feel content.
Creamy and thick with a fluffy texture, just the way I like it! And with just 5 simple ingredients needed and very little time in the kitchen to prepare it, it's a winning recipe for a low carb lifestyle.
If you're not into raspberries and would like to use another berry, I'd suggest, blackberries, blueberries or even strawberries.
You could even add this mousse to a popsicle mold and have delicious creamy cheesecake popsicles!
Guilt-Free Dessert
I can't think of a better way to enjoy a special holiday or birthday or any day for that matter, when you have a delicious dessert that won't cause you a sugar crash and won't break your caloric budget for the day either!
You'll find the nutrition information below at the bottom of the recipe card. This recipe makes a total of 3 cups. I figured since it is so rich and creamy, ½ cup is plenty for a serving to curb that sweet tooth. There are 6 servings in this simple recipe.
