Description
A quick, light, and tasty dessert that resembles a small no-bake cheesecake in a cup, topped with tart cherry pie filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol (or other low-carb sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup tart cherry pie filling
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered erythritol and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Add lemon juice and stir.
- Layer the mousse with tart cherry pie filling in serving cups.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For better whipping, use cold heavy cream. Soften cream cheese at room temperature to avoid lumps. Fold gently to keep the mousse light and airy. Let it chill for an hour for more flavor.
