Lemon Curd Mousse
Lemon Curd has always been one of my favourite ingredients to play with. It packs a powerful lemony punch and has SO many uses.
This low carb lemon mousse is my latest lemon curd success. You make a lemon curd from scratch and then fold through a cup of whipped cream. Couldn’t be easier!
Low Carb Lemon Curd
Don’t be put off by making your own lemon curd from scratch. It really is so easy, you simply whisk the ingredients together, pop it over low heat and before you know it, you have a homemade keto lemon curd!
This finished dessert really does taste like a lemon meringue treat. It’s sweet and creamy with the perfect hit of lemony goodness.
Two essentials for this recipe are a lemon zester and a small strainer. Which will help you zest your lemons for the keto lemon curd and strain the juice out without any of the pips finding their way into your curd. Both are essentials in my kitchen.
