Large mixing bowl
Electric mixer
Measuring cups and spoons
Microplane or zester
Citrus juicer
rubber spatula

Ingredients

1 cup fresh blueberries 150g
1 tablespoon lemon zest 6g
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 30ml
1 cup heavy whipping cream 240ml
¼ cup powdered erythritol 48g
½ teaspoon vanilla extract 2.5ml
¼ teaspoon xanthan gum 0.6g

Instructions

Begin by washing the blueberries and patting them dry. Zest the lemon until you have 1 tablespoon of zest, then juice the lemon for 2 tablespoons of juice.
In a blender or food processor, combine the blueberries, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
In a large bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream and add the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract. Whip the mixture with an electric mixer until it starts to thicken.
While continuing to whip, gradually sprinkle in the xanthan gum and keep beating until stiff peaks form, ensuring not to overbeat.
Gently fold the blueberry lemon mixture into the whipped cream until well combined and the color is uniform.
Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Serve chilled, garnished with additional blueberries or a sprinkle of lemon zest if desired.

Notes

You can adjust the sweetness of the mousse by adding more or less erythritol according to your taste preferences.

If you prefer a thicker mousse, refrigerate it for a longer time before serving.

For a dairy-free version, you can substitute the heavy whipping cream with full-fat coconut milk. Keep in mind this will alter the taste slightly.

This dessert is a wonderful way to enjoy the flavors of blueberry and lemon without breaking your keto diet goals. Enjoy it as an after-dinner treat or a decadent mid-day snack!
