Full nutrition??? Why does it list "net" carbs then? PLEASE list total carbs and let US decide if we want to deduct anything!

BTW, this tastes very good. Delicious springtime dessert.

I just made a double batch of this (8 servings) that I was planning to serve with fresh berries on Easter. In my opinion, the recipe calls for way too much salt. I used 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt for the double batch, and all I can taste is the salt. I added more lemon juice and a lot more zest, which helped, but I'm afraid I'm going have to make a new batch and toss the salty one. What a waste of ingredients. I recommend starting with a pinch of salt, tasting the mixture, then adding more if you think it needs it. It seems like this would be very good if it wasn't overpowered by salt.

This is a good recipe. I made it for Easter using the two serving option. I did add more lemon juice, Swerve and zest than the recipe called for because it did not taste lemony and it lack the sweetness to balance out the cream cheese which was all I was tasting. I used an electric beater. As suggested above it would be wise to taste as you are preparing it. Everyone's palette is different. Preparing it a day ahead will give it time for all the flavors to meld together. I am going to serve it with strawberries.

I made this today for Easter. Yum! Love the recipe. I use a pure salt so just added a bit more lemon juice.

This is very delicious but I added more sweetener( 1/4 t. stevia + xylitol) until is was sweet enough.

I’ve been making a version of this with almond extract instead of vanilla. It reminds me of my mom’s cheesecake. Sometimes I add the lemon juice, sometimes I don’t... either way, it’s a great dessert for times I get a sweet tooth.

What a taste treat! Tart lemon with vanilla hits me first, followed by the salt. Love the sensation!

Very nice and refreshing, but doesn’t need the salt. There’s enough in the cheese

where and what is a good brand of liquid erythritol? I've got Swerve but haven't seen a liquid erythritol.

Tastes great however non keto husband needed sugar to make it palatable. Think us ketoers are used to the far less sweeter flavours. Just be mindful if you plan to serve this to non ketoers. Great texture!!

This is my favorite dessert so far that the whole family enjoys! I wish I could eat the whole 4 servings! But it is a great treat to make once a week if I need a sweet fix. :)

I totally agree with you about the salt. Unfortunately, I made the recipe before I read the comments. To me, the mousse was almost inedible. It might have been the combination of the lemon juice and the salt. It almost tasted like some kind of bathroom cleaner might. Very disappointed.

The basic recipe idea isn't bad, but next time I'll either add raspberries or cocoa powder instead of the lemon and salt.

I left the salt out completely. I like a little bit more lemon taste so I used 2 lemons and added the zest as well sweetened it a tad with blackberries. Super yummy dessert! Thank you.

I think that if you want to know your total carbs, then look at your ingredients. It’s pretty easy to figure out.

I am new to all this. Simple question....does the 5 grams of carbs listed mean "per serving" or the entire dish? It says it makes 4 servings so is it a total of 20 grams of carbs for the entire dish or is it just 5 grams of carbs for the entire 4 servings? Thanks to anyone who answers.

Hi James!

It's 5 gram per serving. (20 gram if you make 4 servings.)

It is actually 7.6 g of carbs per serving. Save for a very special occasion.

it was too salty. tried extra Swerve, lemon juice, vanilla, nope. it’s hard for me to throw out anything. I couldn’t even let the dog have it because of the Swerve.

Absolutely love this dessert!! For myself, I do add some erythritol. Kristie's lemon cheesecake fluff has become a staple treat for me. When I make it, I actually divide the dessert into four small mason jars and pop them into the freezer. When I want a dessert, I take one jar out of the freezer, let it thaw for about half an hour (when I can wait that long!) and then enjoy this wonderful frozen treat! I tend to eat my food too fast so this slows me down so I can make it last longer!

Thank you Kristie!!

I really liked this dessert - to my surprise. I was expecting to miss sweetness, but I didn't , and I didn't add any sweetener. I liked the salt too, surprisingly. But I think it's good advice above to start with just a sprinkle and add more if it's to your taste.
I do a version of this with cream cheese, whipped double cream, a tablespoon of cold brewed coffee, vanilla, toasted flaked almonds, and sometimes as a special treat, 1 square of 85% chocolate grated in. Another recipe where sugar can go take a run and jump.

I just made this and I didn't add the erythritol. Its delicious without it. I love lemon and this "fluff" is really good.

This was my first Keto dessert. I loved it! Adding berries and nuts made it filling. I used a small cup instead to serve so wouldn’t go over total carbs for the day.
