Ingredients for Sugar-Free Cheesecake Mousse Fluff
Main Ingredients:
-
8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
-
½ cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
-
¼ cup powdered erythritol (or monk fruit/allulose)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 tsp lemon juice
-
Zest of ½ lemon (optional)

Pinch of salt

2 oz melted sugar-free dark or white chocolate
-
½ tsp matcha powder
-
¼ cup crushed berries or low-carb jam
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Soften Cream Cheese
Let cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30–60 minutes. This prevents lumps and gives your mousse a silky texture.
Step 2: Mix the Base
Beat cream cheese, sweetener, lemon juice, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt together until smooth and fluffy.
Step 3: Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream to soft peaks using a hand mixer. This gives the mousse its light texture.
Step 4: Fold Together
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two stages. Use a spatula and light hand to maintain fluffiness.
Step 5: Flavor (Optional)
Swirl in melted chocolate, nut butter, or fruit puree if desired. Add visual appeal and extra flavor without added sugar.
Step 6: Chill
Spoon into ramekins or jars. Chill for at least 30 minutes. Flavors develop more as it rests.
