Strawberry rhubarb mousse brings the flavor!
Mousse makes an excellent dessert because it's so light and easy! You've likely had your fair share of chocolate mousse (a favorite by many!), but you simply haven't lived if you've never tried strawberry rhubarb mousse. This combination of flavors is second to none, and nothing says summertime quite like this refreshing little treat.
You'll be happy to learn that this recipe only requires a handful of ingredients–the leading contenders being fresh strawberry and rhubarb. Both strawberries and rhubarb are in season at the end of spring and beginning of summer- one of the reasons why this tasty mousse is so reminiscent of warm weather. When these two ingredients start to pop up in stores (or in your garden) you know that warm weather is on the way!
Of course, you'll need heavy cream to get that mousse texture. Whipping heavy cream and folding in the other ingredients is the hallmark of making a mousse. Luckily, heavy cream is an ideal keto diet ingredient as it is high in fats and low in carbs- just what we keto dieters need! The hint of vanilla in the recipe brings the subtle sweetness to finish out the flavor and make the flavors of the strawberries and rhubarb really pop.
To keep this recipe keto-friendly, there is absolutely no sugar added to this dish. Instead, you'll notice that granulated erythritol comes to the rescue. This particular sugar substitute is much sweeter than white sugar, but it is easier for the body to process. It is a great keto sweetener to have on hand and can be used in place of sugar in almost any recipe. If you do not have granulated erythritol on hand, powdered erythritol will work great in this recipe as well. When you use powdered erythritol, you may need to add a touch more to get the sweetness that you'd like. Give the mousse a taste and fold in a little more if needed!
If you've never whipped up your own batch of mousse before, don't be intimidated! As this simple recipe shows, most of the effort is spent on the prep and only ten minutes of cook time! Surely you can carve out a few minutes to whip up this simple treat! Your taste buds are sure to thank you for it!
Another bonus when it comes to this low carb recipe? It dishes up beautifully! That means that you can certainly add this to the dessert table at your next gathering and your guests will absolutely adore it! This is just another way that you can enjoy food-related gatherings without sacrificing your diet. Even the folks in your life that aren't following keto will absolutely love the blend of flavors. This treat really is made for anybody!
