Recipe Ingredients

• 4 oz Sugar-Free White Chocolate, chopped
• 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream, divided
• 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup Powdered Erythritol
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup Fresh Raspberries
• 2 tbsp Granulated Erythritol
• 1 tsp Lemon Juice
• Crushed Freeze-Dried Raspberries for garnish

How To Make

Step 1

In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of the heavy whipping cream until it just simmers. Pour it over the chopped sugar-free white chocolate in a bowl and let it sit for 1 minute. Stir until completely smooth and let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the fresh raspberries, granulated erythritol, and lemon juice. Mash roughly with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture. Set aside.

Step 3

Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered erythritol together until smooth and fluffy. Add the cooled white chocolate mixture and vanilla extract, beating until perfectly combined.

Step 4

In a large chilled bowl, whip the remaining 1 3/4 cups of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate cream cheese mixture in three additions, folding gently each time to keep it light and airy.

Step 5

Spoon a small layer of mousse into the bottom of 6 serving glasses or cups. Add a spoonful of the raspberry mixture on top. Repeat the layers one more time, finishing with a generous layer of mousse.

Step 6

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set. Top each cup with a few fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of crushed freeze-dried raspberries just before serving.

Tips

Cool the White Chocolate Mixture Completely

This is the most important step in the whole recipe. If the melted white chocolate mixture is even slightly warm when you mix it into the cream cheese or fold in the whipped cream, it will melt everything and you’ll end up with a runny mousse that never sets properly.

Give it the full 15 minutes at room temperature, or even longer if needed. It should feel completely cool to the touch before you move on. You can speed this up by putting the bowl in the fridge for about 8-10 minutes, just stir it once halfway through so it cools evenly.

Chill Your Bowl and Beaters Before Whipping

Heavy whipping cream whips up way faster and holds its shape much better when everything is cold. Put your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes before you start whipping.

This matters even more with keto recipes because there’s no sugar helping to stabilize the whipped cream. Powdered erythritol doesn’t hold structure the same way sugar does, so the cold temperature is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here.

Whip until you get true stiff peaks. If you pull the beaters out and the cream flops over at the tip, keep going. You want it to stand straight up.

Use Powdered Erythritol, Not Granulated, for the Mousse

The recipe calls for powdered erythritol in the cream cheese mixture for a reason. Granulated erythritol won’t dissolve properly in a no-bake filling like this, and you’ll end up with a gritty mousse that has a weird sandy texture.

If you only have granulated on hand, just blend it in a spice grinder or blender for about 30 seconds until it turns into a fine powder. It works perfectly and takes almost no effort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find sugar-free white chocolate that’s actually keto friendly?

This can be tricky because a lot of “sugar-free” white chocolate brands still sneak in maltitol or other sweeteners that spike blood sugar. Look for brands like ChocZero or Bake Believe that use monk fruit or allulose instead – you can usually find them online or at stores like Walmart and Target.

If you can’t find any locally, you can make your own by melting cocoa butter with a keto sweetener and a little vanilla. It’s simpler than it sounds and gives you full control over what goes into it.
