Instructions:
Crust (Optional):
- Preheat Oven: If making the crust, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix Crust Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, erythritol, and vanilla extract until it forms a crumbly mixture.
- Bake Crust: Press the mixture into the bottom of serving glasses or a small baking dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool completely.
Mousse:
- Beat Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add Sweetener and Lemon: Add the powdered erythritol, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until well combined.
- Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Chill: Spoon the mousse into the serving glasses over the crust (if using) or directly into the glasses. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Topping (Optional):
- Garnish: Before serving, garnish with additional lemon zest, fresh berries, and mint leaves if desired.
Tips:
- For an extra lemony flavor, increase the amount of lemon juice and zest.
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the mousse.
- The crust is optional and can be omitted for a quicker, crustless version.
