Ingredients (Low-Carb Version)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
4 oz (½ block) cream cheese, softened
¼ cup sugar-free sweetener
(erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose — any will work)
1–2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
½ tsp lemon zest (optional but amazing)
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Note:
Ingredients are standard and easy to find in US, Canada, UK, and Australia grocery stores.
(Heavy cream = “double cream” in UK.)
Directions
1. Whip the cream
In a cold bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
2. Prepare the lemon base
In a separate bowl, beat together:
cream cheese
sweetener
lemon juice
lemon zest
vanilla
Mix until smooth and fluffy.
3. Combine
Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture.
You want a light, airy mousse — don’t overmix!

Spoon into glasses and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of lemon zest if you want that pretty café look.
