Low Sugar/ Low carb Cherry Cordial Cream Cheese Mousse
I invent with what I have around the house in my cabinets. My hope is that some of you have some of these common items to make quality desserts low in sugar at home
Recipe:
In 1 bowl combine ingredients below and mix with blender until smooth. Set aside
2 cups heavy cream
1 regular box cream cheese completely softened
3 tsp vanilla extract
In a 2nd small bowl combine;
8 Tablespoons Hersheys cocoa powder
11 Tablespoons or 33 packets of Splenda (not granulated baking Splenda
2 pinches of salt
4 tablespoons of full sugar cherry starburst jello.
Add blended dry ingredients to first bowl. Fold in. Then mix on lowest speed until it begins to thicken.
Set in fridge overnight. Spoon into desert dishes and top with whipped cream, cocoa powder, a cherry. Top with one all or none to please all the palates in your household. For a more bittersweet cocoa aftertaste definitely dust the mouse it self with cocoa powder before adding whipped cream, or even plain!
Yields 6 - 1/2 cup servings.
10 total carbs.
4g natural dairy sugars (from the cream cheese)
6g added sugars (from the jello) Dark chocolate cherry cheesecake mouse! Matt and I both really like this one!
