Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) fresh raspberries, pureed and strained
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) powdered erythritol or sweetener of choice
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Garnish:
- Fresh raspberries (optional)
Instructions
- Transform fresh raspberries into silky puree by blending thoroughly, then meticulously strain through a fine mesh sieve to eliminate seeds, extracting pure raspberry essence.
- Utilize an electric mixer to whip heavy cream until soft, cloud-like peaks emerge, then set aside for later incorporation.
- Cream softened cream cheese until velvety smooth, integrating raspberry puree, vanilla extract, and powdered erythritol to create a harmonious, vibrant mixture.
- Delicately fold whipped cream into raspberry-cream cheese base, using gentle circular motions to maintain airy texture without deflating the cream’s delicate structure.
- Transfer mousse into individual serving vessels, ensuring even distribution, and refrigerate for 2-3 hours at 40°F until the dessert sets with a luxurious, firm consistency.
- Prior to presentation, artfully adorn each mousse with fresh whole raspberries or a dollop of additional whipped cream, elevating the visual and gustatory experience.
Notes
- Strain raspberry puree thoroughly to ensure a silky-smooth texture without seeds for a luxurious mouthfeel.
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature beforehand to prevent lumps and achieve a perfectly creamy consistency.
- Fold whipped cream gently using a spatula in a circular motion to maintain the airy, light structure of the mousse.
- For a low-carb version, use erythritol or stevia as sugar alternatives, keeping the dessert keto-friendly and diabetic-friendly.
