Berry-Cherry Cheesecake Mousse
"Low carb desserts are actually pretty easy to come up with, and they can even be purchased ready made from most supermarkets: low carb ice cream, sugar-free angel food cake, and sugar-free pies."

The mousse I made to go with dinner tonight is really delicious! Yeah, I just had to try a few spoonfuls in advance. I don’t want to serve something to my family that isn’t yummy, of course. I haven’t gone to the trouble to figure out the exact carb count per serving, but rest assured it’s a heck of a lot lower than what you’d find in a traditional dessert, thanks to the low carb ingredients: Hood milk, sugar-free pudding, Splenda, sour cream, and cream cheese. Yes, the fruits have some carbs, but they also add healthy fiber, vitamins, and minerals, along with lots of bright flavor, so I think they’re worth the cost in carbohydrates.
You can use this basic mousse recipe to create your own flavors or combinations. In fact, you might want to avoid using fruit at all. For example, you could use chocolate pudding and Hood low carb chocolate milk to create a rich, velvety low carb dessert!
