Description
A delightful low carb no-bake strawberry mousse pie that is easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pre-made low-carb pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and lemon juice. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of erythritol and let it sit for about 10 minutes to macerate.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the remaining erythritol and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the macerated strawberries, reserving a few slices for garnish if desired.
- Pour the strawberry mousse filling into the low-carb pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Before serving, garnish with the reserved strawberry slices on top.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture.
- Substitute the strawberries with other berries like raspberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
