Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz (225 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and finely chopped (about 5–6 medium berries)
  • 1/3–1/2 cup powdered erythritol or allulose (start with 1/3 cup; adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (brightens the flavor)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional garnish: extra chopped strawberries, a few mint leaves, or unsweetened toasted coconut flakes

Instructions
 

  • Prep the strawberries: Finely chop the strawberries. If they’re very juicy, pat them dry with a paper towel so the dessert doesn’t get watery.
  • Soften the cream cheese: Make sure it’s truly room temp. This prevents lumps and gives a smoother mousse.
  • Whip the cream: In a cold bowl, beat the heavy cream with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Add half the sweetener and continue to beat to medium peaks. Don’t overwhip.
  • Make the cream cheese base: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add vanilla, lemon juice, salt, and the remaining sweetener. Beat until smooth.
  • Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions. Use a spatula and light strokes to keep it airy.
  • Add strawberries: Fold in the chopped strawberries. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  • Chill: Spoon into serving cups or a small dish. Chill for 30–60 minutes to set and develop flavor.
  • Serve: Top with a few strawberry pieces or a sprig of mint. Enjoy cold.
