This recipe is essentially a combination of my sugar-free lemon curd with whipped cream. (I beg you not to try it with a commercial sugar-free lemon curd, as I think you'll be disappointed. My version is not hard to make.)

Ingredients:

  • 1 recipe lemon curd, chilled (see link above)
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream (preferably not ultra-pasteurized)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • sugar substitute equal to 2-3 tablespoons sugar (liquid sucralose works well; see link below)

Preparation:

Whip cream with vanilla and sugar substitute. (Tips on making whipped cream.) Mix with lemon curd. Adjust sweetener if you'd like to add a little (depends upon how tangy you want your mousse). Serve in dessert dishes, or to be fancy, wine or martini glasses. Berries or mint make a nice garnish.

Makes 6 servings.

Nutritional Information: Each serving has 2 grams effective carbohydrate, 4 grams protein, and 209 calories.
