HOW TO MAKE THISKEY LIME KETO MOUSSE DESSERT RECIPE

One of my favorite desserts is Key Lime Pie so I thought I’d create a keto/low carb mousse version. Without a crust, it is nut-free for those with tree nut allergies and it keeps the carb count lower.

It took several tries to get the tartness of the Key Lime Mousse just right. Also, the measurements I have included for both the key lime zest and key lime juice may vary as some limes aren’t nearly as tart as others. So, when you make this dessert make sure to taste the recipe as you go to get the perfect tartness.I would recommend refrigerating overnight for maximum flavor.

I also have aKeto Key Lime Pie Recipethat will incorporate a pecan crust for extra texture and crunch to keto key lime mousse.

Tips for making this keto key lime mousse

Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature so that it will be nice and creamy. This will make a lighter mousse with an airy texture.

Don’t overbeat heavy whipping cream or it can become grainy. If this happens, simply add a little heavy whipping cream and with a couple turns of a whisk you’ll have creamy peaks once again.

Gluten-Free Keto Mousse recipe

Along with being low in net carbs, this recipe is also gluten-free. However, if you have a gluten allergy, make sure to check the ingredients before making it. My daughter has a nut allergy, so I know you cannot leave anything up to chance.

CAN YOU FREEZE KETO MOUSSE?

Yes, you can freeze this Key Lime Keto Mousse recipe for up to two months. To thaw stick it in the fridge overnight, or until it can either be sliced or scooped out with a spoon. I have often enjoyed it frozen as well. To do so, I let it sit out for about 10-15 minutes first.

HOW DO YOU STORE KEY LIME KETO MOUSSE?

Mousse can either be stored in the fridge for five days or the freezer for two months. It will take several hours once placed in the fridge for the mousse to firm up completely. I often pop it in the freezer for 45 minutes to an hour so that it can firm up quickly before serving. Then, I set it out on the counter for a few minutes to make serving easier.

WHY ARE LIMES AND KEY LIMES DIFFERENT?

Key limes are smaller than limes and are known to pack a more acidic punch than regular limes. However, you can substitute limes for key limes if you do not have any available. Taste your keto mousse as you go because you may need to add more lime juice than you would key lime juice.
