Keto Lemon Mousse | Low Carb Lemon Mousse
One of my favorite desserts to make has got to be mousse. It’s such a wonderfully smooth, creamy and simple dessert to make that I find myself making it on a fairly regular basis. Not to mention it’s quite easy to make the dessert low carb, which is great for those of us living a keto lifestyle.
One of my favorite things about this Keto Lemon Mousse is that it only takes five ingredients to make. You’ll most likely have most of the ingredients on hand, and if not, it will cost you next to nothing to grab the ingredients at the store.
This recipe only takes a few minutes to whip together. The longest part is letting it refrigerate for a couple of hours before consuming, but let me assure you, it’s well worth the wait!
I always like to make a large batch so that I can have some now, then put the rest back in the fridge for later use. I normally like it to last me a few days before I end up creating another dessert to curb my sweet tooth.
How To Make Keto Lemon Mousse
- In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix together all ingredients until smooth and creamy.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours and serve.
Tips for Making Keto Lemon Mousse
- Mascarpone cheese is sweet, soft cheese. If you can't find it, use ricotta cheese.
- If you don’t like the flavor of lemon, you can also make this mousse in chocolate. See the recipe HERE!
- You can vary the flavors for this mousse, by using orange extract and orange zest for example. Almond mousse with just the extract will also be fabulous.
- This is a very rich concoction. Start with 1/4 cup at most per person as it can be very filling.
- This mousse will last several days in the refrigerator.
- You can also freeze this in small truffle molds. When it's frozen, pop them out of the molds and store them in the freezer. It’s great for portion control!

It’s not often I use my Meyer lemons on an untested recipe, but I’m so glad I did! I used the best from one of the lemons, too, and this was perfect! I used Swerve instead of Truvia. I’ll be making this again soon!

Hi Jody, the recipe uses Mascarpone cheese, not ricotta
Jodi
I made this last night using Ricotta cheese, and it is not thick like the picture shows. What did I do wrong and can it be thickened up at this point?

What can be used rather than Truvia? I don’t like the “natural flavors” which could be anything. Thank you in advance! elf
