Ingredients
Instructions
For the Raspberry Compote: In a small saucepan, combine fresh raspberries, lemon juice, and erythritol (or sweetener of choice). Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
For the Lemon Kvarg Mousse: In a medium bowl, combine kvarg, protein powder, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sweetener. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the kvarg mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will deflate the mousse.
To Assemble: In two serving glasses, layer the raspberry compote and lemon kvarg mousse. Start with a spoonful of compote at the bottom, then add a layer of mousse. Repeat layers, finishing with a dollop of mousse on top.
Garnish with a few fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest, if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
💡 Pro Tip
For an extra protein boost, you can use a flavored protein powder (e.g., vanilla or lemon) in the mousse. If you prefer a thicker compote, you can add 1/4 teaspoon of chia seeds to the raspberries while cooking and let it sit for 10 minutes to thicken further.
