Description

Prepare yourself for a treat that marries the luscious sweetness of strawberries with a creamy, decadent texture. This Frozen Strawberry Mousse, adapted from an Italian cooking show, delivers a mildly sweet and beautifully creamy dessert with a tantalizing strawberry kick. Perfect for a low-carb indulgence, this recipe ensures a refreshing dessert that’s as delightful to make as it is to eat. Just a heads-up, this dessert includes raw eggs, so it’s essential to use fresh, high-quality eggs.

Recipe Details

  • Prep Time: 30 minutes
  • Cook Time (Freezing): 2 hours
  • Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (separated)
  • 6 tablespoons Splenda sugar substitute
  • 3 tablespoons vodka
  • 2 cups diced fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Optional: a few drops of food coloring (for visual appeal)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:

    • Begin by separating the egg whites into a small, deep bowl and the egg yolks into a medium bowl.
  2. Prepare the Egg Yolk Mixture:

    • To the egg yolks, add 6 tablespoons of Splenda sugar substitute, 3 tablespoons of vodka, a few drops of food coloring if desired, and a pinch of salt. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined.
  3. Incorporate the Strawberries:

    • Add the diced strawberries to the egg yolk mixture. Whisk again until the strawberries are evenly distributed throughout.
  4. Whip the Egg Whites:

    • Using an electric beater, whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This will give the mousse its light and airy texture.
  5. Fold in the Egg Whites:

    • Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  6. Whip the Cream:

    • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using an electric beater until it also forms stiff peaks.
  7. Combine the Cream:

    • Fold the whipped cream into the egg yolk mixture in two additions, ensuring that everything is well incorporated.
  8. Freeze the Mousse:

    • Divide the mousse mixture evenly among 4 eight-ounce ramekins or small serving dishes. For convenience, place the ramekins in a baking pan (an 8 x 8 inch pan works well) before transferring to the freezer.
  9. Chill Until Set:

    • Freeze the mousse for 2 to 4 hours, or until it reaches a firm consistency. If the mousse has been frozen for more than 4 hours, let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
  10. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Once ready, serve your delicious Frozen Strawberry Mousse straight from the ramekins. Each serving contains approximately 4.5 net carbs, making it a perfect low-carb treat to enjoy anytime.
