Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- 8x8 inch baking pan
Ingredients
First Layer
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream for the first layer
- 5 tsp key lime zest
- 3 tbsp Key Lime Juice
- 10 tbsp Lakanto Monkfruit Powdered Sweetener for the first layer
Second Layer (Topping)
- 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream for the second layer
- 2 tbsp Lakanto Monkfruit Powdered Sweetener for the second layer
Instructions
- Prepare the First Layer: In a large mixing bowl, whip 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream until it forms stiff, fluffy peaks. Set this aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 10 tablespoons of Lakanto Monkfruit Powdered Sweetener, key lime juice, and key lime zest. Beat this mixture on medium speed until it's completely smooth and creamy.
- Tip: Taste the mixture here! You might want to adjust the key lime juice or zest depending on your limes and preferred tartness.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Lightly spray an 8x8 inch baking pan with cooking spray (or line with parchment for easy lifting). Pour the key lime mousse mixture into the pan and spread it evenly.
- Prepare the Second Layer (Topping): In a clean bowl, whip the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of Lakanto Monkfruit Powdered Sweetener until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully spread this fluffy whipped cream topping over the key lime layer in the pan.
- Chill & Enjoy: Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the mousse to set beautifully and flavors to meld. Slice into squares and serve this light and refreshing treat!
