Keto Orange Cheesecake Mousse
This Keto orange cheesecake mousse is such an easy dessert to make. Plus, if you are really not in the mood for orange it is easy to swap from another flavor. Simply use the sugar-free flavor gelatin of choice.
This recipe only makes about siz servings. So if you are needing it to feed more people, you may want to double it.
One thing to note about this recipe is when I say add gelatin, that means just the dry packet and not premade gelatin. If you add it premade it will not work the same.
While this recipe is made using heavy cream to make the whipped cream, there is a workaround if you are pressed for time. Simply leave out the whipped cream making step of the heavy cream and replace it with an 8 oz container of thawed whipped topping.

Notes
These Are Estimated Nutrition Facts
Know that estimated nutrition facts are just a guideline and will vary depending on any variation you make or brand you use from what we have listed.
How far ahead can you make this dessert? I want to serve it at book club but don’t want to disappear into the kitchen for too long. Will it hold its shape for a couple of hours?
Yes, it can be made ahead even the day before.
Where can you find the gelatin? It isn’t Jello, right?
Thanks!
Shirley, you can use any brand sugar-free orange gelatin. Yes, Jello offers one too. You can see the Sugar Free Orange Jello on Amazon here.
Is there anyway to use plain gelatin and add some sort of flavor to it? I don’t know if that’s a stupid question but I was kind of wondering if I could put crushed pineapple or mandarin oranges in the gelatin or if I would just use the juice from them? Or if none of them work at all lol
No, I don’t think that would work. The flavored gelatin is also sweetened. So you would also have to add a sweetener, plus if using real fruit and juice it would raise the carb count.
Best stuff ever!
How many carbs per serving?
It depends on how large your serving is. If you divide this recipe into six servings it works out to be about 5 carbs per serving.
Delicious!! I made with sugar free strawberry gelatin and substituted cool whip for the heavy cream. I can’t wait to try another flavor!
Happy you enjoyed it! The recipe does call for heavy cream but gives the option to use cool whip if you wanted.
ounce how many grams? I’m from Poland and we have everything in grams :))
If you are asking how much cream cheese it would be for the 8 oz listed that would be 227 grams.
Do you let the gelatin cook before you add it in?
I meant cool… lol
It will cool down slightly while you are beating the cream cheese. It does not need to be totally cooled before adding it in.
I have an idea for lowering the sodium in the recipe (it tasted a bit salty)! Instead of using flavored sugar free gelatin, substitute plain unflavored gelatin (no sodium), and use orange zest and orange flavoring.
How many carbs?
Works out to be about 5 carbs per serving.
can you use oranges instead of gelatin
No, it would not thicken right and oranges are loaded with carbs so it would not work for a low carb/keto diet.
