The Best Keto Strawberry Mousse
My biggest problem without keto isn’t dessert, it’s the texture. Sure, you can get decently sweet cookies, but sometimes I just miss the velvety texture of custards and puddings. And if you’re in the same boat as me, then this recipe is perfect for you. Our keto strawberry mousse is a super easy, weeknight treat that you can quickly make before work and enjoy when you’re home.
Ingredients
- 1 sachet of sugar-free strawberry jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Chopped peanuts (for topping)
How to make a keto strawberry mousse
First, grab a heatproof jug and pour in the contents of your jello sachet. Add some boiling water and give it a good stir until the jello has dissolved completely. Let it cool down to a lukewarm, liquid consistency.
While you’re waiting for the jello to cool, grab a large mixing bowl and add some heavy cream. Using a hand mixer with a whisk attachment, give the cream a good whip until it’s looking all frothy and fluffy. Then, pour in the cooled jello and keep whipping for up to 5 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it’s thick and fluffy.
Now it’s time to assemble your mousse! Simply take your glass and spoon the mixture. Once your mousse is in the glass, all you need to do is allow it to set in the fridge for at least 2 hours but I like to make the recipe in the morning and leave it to set all day.
Once they’re set, take them out and top each one with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts, if you want. And voila! Your keto strawberry mousse is ready to be devoured. Enjoy!
How long does the Keto Strawberry Mousse last in the fridge?
The mousse can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure to cover it with plastic wrap or put it in airtight containers to preserve the freshness.
Can I use other types of cream for this recipe?
Yes, you can use heavy cream, whipping cream, or even sour cream. Each type of cream will give a slightly different texture and taste to the mousse.
Can I make this recipe in advance?
Not only can you make this recipe in advance, but that’s actually my favorite way to enjoy it. I hate the idea of waiting to enjoy my dessert so I like to make it in the morning before work and tuck in as soon as I get home!
