Why you’ll love this mousse
- 17g protein per serving
- 6g net carbs
- Blueberry ribbon through the cream
- Ready in about 15 minutes
- No bake
- No sugar
Health notes
- Protein: Vanilla protein powder, cream cheese, and Greek yogurt.
- Low carb: A measured blueberry swirl, not a cup of jam.
- Sugar-free: Monk fruit or allulose only.
- Keto-friendly: Each cup stays around 6g net carbs if the berries stay measured.
Key element — swirl, do not stir
A full stir turns the cup one pale purple. A spoon dragged through once is what leaves the ribbon in the glass.
Ingredients
Mousse (4 servings)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (about 60 g)
- ¼ cup powdered monk fruit or allulose
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp heavy cream, if needed to loosen
Blueberry swirl and top
- ½ cup blueberries
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp powdered sweetener
- A few extra blueberries, to finish
- 1 Tbsp sliced almonds
Swaps
- Raspberry: Same amount as the blueberries.
- No almonds: Calories drop a little.
- A cup of jam: Not in the 6g number.
- No protein powder: Protein falls under 17g.
Instructions
| 1 | Swirl. Mash the blueberries with lemon and 1 tsp sweetener until a loose sauce. Leave some pieces. |
| 2 | Base. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, and vanilla. Beat until thick. Add a spoon of cream only if it is too stiff. |
| 3 | Layer. Spoon the base into 4 glasses. Drizzle the blueberry. Drag a spoon through once. Do not stir it in. |
| 4 | Finish. Top with a few berries and sliced almonds, like the glass. Chill 10 minutes if you want it firmer, or serve right away. |
Pro tips
- Cold cream cheese lumps. Soften it 20 minutes on the counter first.
- A thick base holds the ribbon. A thin one sinks it to the bottom.
- A full cup of berries or a jar of jam is not in these numbers.
- Almonds on top are the finish. A handful is extra.
- Macros are per serving, 4 from this batch.
