MASCARPONE MOUSSE WITH ROASTED STRAWBERRIES

A delicious low carb and keto mousse made with sweet mascarpone cheese and whipped cream. Topped with roasted strawberries, it’s an easy yet elegant dessert.

Stop the presses! Hold everything! This, right here, right now, is a memorable moment. Take a deep breath, sit up straight and make sure you are paying attention. Because this is big, friends. This is noteworthy. This is historical. This, this lovely, sweet and creamy low carb dessert…this is the first recipe to come out of my new kitchen! We are out of our rental, into the new house, and it’s a sea of boxes. I don’t have a clue where most things are. I’m unpacking things I haven’t seen in 6 months and that I forgot I even owned. It feels a little like an archaeological exploration as I unearth artifacts of a bygone time and place. But the kitchen was priority number one for me and it’s mostly unpacked and nicely organized, although I do often stand bewildered in it, trying to remember where I’ve put everything. Let it be said that I never want to move again. Or at least for another 10 years.

Roasted Strawberries

2 cups quartered strawberries

2 tsp granulated Swerve Sweetener
