Are blueberries keto?
Yay! Blueberries are an awesome keto fruit! They are a low calorie food with many health benefits. Blueberries provide fiber, manganese, and vitamins C and K. One cup of blueberries contains about 70 calories and 13 grams of net carbs. Used in moderation, they can easily be incorporated into some awesome low carb, keto dishes!
Let’s talk about some of the key ingredients in this keto blueberry mousse delight!
I used gelatin for my mousse. This is the ingredient which helps the mousse to set and to firm up. I chose to use frozen blueberries, but you could use fresh if you’d like. My go-to sugar substitute is the Swerve brand. This is what I used for my mousse. It contains zero calories and zero net carbs, and I find it to be delicious! Fresh lemon juice pairs so nicely with blueberries. You can use bottled lemon juice in a pinch. Just a touch of salt is added to enhance the flavor of this mousse. The last ingredient is whipped cream which gives the mousse body and creates the perfect creamy texture you want in your mousse!
Is this a difficult recipe to make?
This mousse is incredibly easy to make! Sprinkling the gelatin over the water is called “blooming” the gelatin. This step allows the gelatin to absorb the water. It helps to ensure a smooth texture to the recipe. You can leave some of the blueberries whole or you can use a blender or immersion blender if you’d like. I chose the rustic route and simply used a spoon to smoosh most of the blueberries against the sides of the pan while cooking the blueberry mixture!😉You’ll want to allow your blueberry mixture to cool before adding your whipped cream. I placed mine in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, but you can leave out at room temperature to cool if you’d prefer.
Do you have a recipe for keto whipped cream I can use to top this keto blueberry mousse delight with?
Once you make your own whipping cream, you’ll never want to use anything else. It is quick and easy and is incredibly delicious. Simply chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 20 minutes prior to using. Then combine 1 cup of heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons of your favorite keto powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat until stiff peaks form. This is my basic recipe for keto whipped cream. You can play around with the recipe by using different extract flavors if you’d like.
