What You Need

This recipe keeps it simple. Everything you need is easy to find and probably already in your kitchen if you’re following a keto lifestyle.

Ingredients

• 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp lemon juice (optional, but enhances the raspberry flavor)
• Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings

• Extra raspberries
• Whipped cream
• Dark chocolate shavings (sugar-free)
• Crushed keto-friendly cookies

How to Make It

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

Take the cream cheese out of the fridge about 30 minutes before you start. This makes it easier to mix and prevents lumps in your mousse.

Wash your raspberries and pat them dry with a paper towel. If you like a smoother mousse, you can mash them with a fork or blend them before adding them to the mixture.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. This means when you lift the whisk, the cream should hold its shape but still be slightly soft.

Set it aside.

Step 3: Mix the Cream Cheese & Sweetener

In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sweetener, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth. If you want it extra smooth, use an electric mixer. Otherwise, a whisk will work with a little effort.

Step 4: Add the Raspberries

Gently fold in the raspberries. If you want a chunkier texture, leave some whole. For a more blended mousse, mash them up before mixing.

Step 5: Combine Everything

Now, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much—you want to keep that light, airy texture.

Step 6: Chill & Serve

Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or small bowls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld together and gives it that perfect creamy texture.

Top with extra raspberries, whipped cream, or a few shavings of sugar-free dark chocolate before serving.

Tips for the Best Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Mousse

• Use room temperature cream cheese – Cold cream cheese won’t mix well and can leave lumps.
• Chill your mixing bowl – If you struggle to whip cream, place the bowl and beaters in the fridge for 10 minutes before starting.
• Adjust sweetness – Everyone’s taste is different, so feel free to add more or less sweetener.
• Make it dairy-free – Swap the cream cheese for coconut cream and use a dairy-free whipping alternative.
• Use frozen raspberries – If fresh ones aren’t available, frozen will work. Just let them thaw and drain any extra liquid before adding them to the mix.

How to Store It

This mousse is best fresh, but you can store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just cover it tightly so it doesn’t absorb any odors from the fridge.

If you want to make it ahead of time, you can freeze it for up to 1 month. Thaw it in the fridge overnight before serving.

Variations

Want to change things up? Here are some easy ways to tweak this recipe:

Chocolate Raspberry Mousse

Add 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture for a rich chocolatey twist.

Lemon Raspberry Mousse

Increase the lemon juice to 1 tbsp and add 1 tsp of lemon zest for a tangy, refreshing version.

Strawberry Cheesecake Mousse

Swap out raspberries for strawberries or do a mix of both for a berry explosion.

Peanut Butter & Raspberry Mousse

Swirl in 1 tbsp of unsweetened peanut butter before chilling for a peanut butter and jelly flavor.

Why This Dessert Works for Keto

One of the hardest parts of following keto is finding desserts that don’t taste “diet” but still fit the macros. This mousse is creamy, flavorful, and completely satisfies that sweet craving while keeping carbs low.

• Low in Carbs – Raspberries are one of the lowest-carb fruits, making them perfect for keto.
• High in Healthy Fats – The cream cheese and heavy cream provide the fats your body needs on keto.
• No Sugar Spikes – Using erythritol or monk fruit sweetener keeps blood sugar stable.

A serving of this mousse has about 3g net carbs, making it an easy addition to your daily intake.

Serving Ideas

This mousse is delicious on its own, but you can also use it in different ways:

• As a Pie Filling – Spoon it into a keto-friendly almond flour crust for a no-bake cheesecake.
• Layered Dessert – Alternate layers of mousse with crushed keto cookies for a parfait.
• With Pancakes or Waffles – Use it as a creamy topping for your keto breakfast.
• Frozen Treat – Freeze small portions for a keto ice cream-like snack.
