This Keto Blueberry Lemon Mousse is a velvety, tangy dessert that satisfies your sweet tooth without the carbs. Fresh blueberries and zesty lemon combine to create a light, refreshing treat perfect for any time of the day.
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.
