Ingredients:
• 1 block of cream cheese (8 oz)
• 1 package of sugar-free pudding mix (cheesecake, vanilla, or chocolate work well)
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 1 cup of water
• Optional: Reddi Whip (or any sugar-free whipped cream) and chopped strawberries for garnish
Instructions:
1. Blend the Ingredients: Start by placing the cream cheese, sugar-free pudding mix, heavy cream, and water into a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to blend all the ingredients together. Be sure to add the water slowly to prevent splashing. Mix until smooth and creamy, which usually takes about 3-4 minutes. The texture should be thick and mousse-like.
2. Portion it Out: Once everything is blended, divide the mixture into six small dessert cups. You can also use any small bowl or jar you have on hand. This recipe makes six servings, with each portion containing less than 4 carbs!
3. Optional Toppings: To take your dessert up a notch, add a dollop of Reddi Whip or any sugar-free whipped cream of your choice. For an extra burst of flavor and a touch of sweetness, top each cup with a chopped strawberry. While this adds about 2 additional carbs per serving, it’s definitely worth it to cut through the richness of the dessert.
4. Chill and Serve: You can serve this dessert right away, but for an even more indulgent experience, place the cups in the fridge for about 30 minutes to chill. The dessert will firm up slightly and become even more satisfying.
