Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh raspberries, pureed and strained
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or sweetener of choice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Raspberry Puree:
In a blender or food processor, blend the fresh raspberries until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds, leaving behind the raspberry puree. - Whip the Cream:
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside. - Blend the Cream Cheese:
In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the raspberry puree, vanilla extract, and powdered erythritol. Mix until well combined. - Fold in the Whipped Cream:
Gently fold the whipped cream into the raspberry-cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. - Chill:
Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm. - Serve and Garnish:
Before serving, garnish the mousse with fresh raspberries or additional whipped cream for extra flair.
