Instructions:
- Prepare the Cheesecake Base:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered erythritol (or sweetener of your choice) and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Add the lemon zest and lemon juice. Mix again until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Prepare the Whipped Cream:
- In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
- Add the powdered erythritol (or sweetener) to the whipped cream and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Combine and Chill:
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon cheesecake mixture. Use a spatula to carefully incorporate the two mixtures until no streaks remain.
- Chill and Serve:
- Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls.
- Place the mousse in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until it’s set and firm.
- Garnish (optional):
- Before serving, you can garnish the mousse with additional lemon zest, a small slice of lemon, or a dollop of whipped cream.
