Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sugar-free butterscotch pudding mix
- 1/4 cup sweetener of choice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of sugar-free butterscotch pudding mix, 1/4 cup of your preferred sweetener, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy blending.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and the sweetener. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
- Next, add the sugar-free butterscotch pudding mix to the cream cheese mixture. Continue to blend until the pudding mix is fully incorporated and the mixture is well combined.
- In a separate bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip, as you want a light and airy texture.
- Once the heavy cream is whipped, gently fold it into the cream cheese and butterscotch mixture. Use a spatula to incorporate the whipped cream, being careful to maintain the lightness of the mousse. Fold until just combined, ensuring there are no streaks of cream.
- Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and fold it in gently to enhance the flavor of the mousse.
- Once everything is combined, spoon the butterscotch cheesecake mousse into serving cups or bowls. You can use individual dessert cups for a more elegant presentation.
- For best results, refrigerate the mousse for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set slightly and the flavors to meld. However, since this recipe has no cooking time, you can serve it immediately if desired.
- Before serving, you can garnish the mousse with additional whipped cream, a sprinkle of sugar-free butterscotch or chocolate shavings, or even a few nuts for added texture, if desired.
- Enjoy your Sugar Free Low Carb Butterscotch Cheesecake Mousse as a delightful and guilt-free dessert!
Tips
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before you start mixing. This ensures a smooth and lump-free mousse.
- Whip the Cream Just Right: When whipping the heavy cream, aim for soft peaks. Over-whipping can lead to a grainy texture, so keep an eye on it!
- Gentle Folding: When combining the whipped cream with the cream cheese mixture, use a gentle folding technique to maintain the light and airy texture of the mousse.
- Chill for Best Flavor: For optimal taste and texture, refrigerate the mousse for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Creative Garnishes: Elevate your dessert presentation by garnishing with extra whipped cream, sugar-free butterscotch or chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of nuts for added crunch.
- Experiment with Sweeteners: Feel free to use your favorite sugar substitute to customize the sweetness to your liking, making it perfect for your dietary needs.Enjoy crafting this delightful dessert that’s sure to satisfy your cravings while keeping your carb count low!
