Ingredients (Serves 4)
Cheesecake Mousse
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup powdered erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for extra tang)
Blueberry Swirl
- ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp powdered erythritol
- ½ tsp lemon zest (optional, for brightness)
Instructions
1. Make the Blueberry Compote
- In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, water, and sweetener.
- Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries burst and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Stir in lemon zest if using for extra fragrance.
- Remove from heat and let it cool completely before layering with the mousse.
2. Make the Cheesecake Mousse
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until perfectly smooth.
- Add sweetener, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Beat again until creamy and light.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until fully combined and fluffy.
3. Assemble the Parfaits
- Spoon a layer of cheesecake mousse into each serving glass.
- Add a swirl of blueberry compote.
- Repeat the layers, finishing with a small dollop of mousse and a few fresh blueberries on top.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend beautifully.
