Ingredients

• 2 cups / 480 ml heavy whipping cream, sugar-free
• 1 cup / 245 g plain full-fat yogurt
• 1 tbsp / 9 g powdered stevia, or to taste
• 1 cup / 125 g fresh raspberries
• 1 tbsp / 15 ml vanilla extract, sugar-free
• 1 tbsp / 8 g arrowroot powder
• ¼ cup / 40 g ripe avocado, cut into chunks
• 1 oz / 28 g pack sugar-free cherry gelatin

Instructions

1. Directions
2. Combine raspberries, stevia, vanilla extract, and arrowroot powder in the stainless steel insert of your Instant Pot.
3. Lock the lid and set the steam release handle to ‘Sealing’. Press the “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” button and set the timer for 15 minutes on high pressure.
4. While the raspberries cook, whisk together the heavy whipping cream and yogurt in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes on high speed until soft peaks form. Set aside.
5. When the Instant Pot timer finishes, press “Cancel” and perform a quick release of the pressure by carefully turning the valve to the ‘Venting’ position.
6. Once the pin drops, open the pot and transfer the hot raspberry mixture to the bowl with the whipped cream. Using a hand mixer, beat on low for 1 more minute until well combined. Chill the mixture while you prepare the topping.
7. Add the gelatin packet and one cup of water to the empty Instant Pot insert. Press the ‘Saute’ button and bring it to a gentle boil, stirring constantly until the gelatin dissolves completely, about 2-3 minutes.
8. Divide the chilled raspberry yogurt mixture between 5 serving glasses and top each with avocado chunks.
9. Carefully pour the warm gelatin over the top of each dessert. Freeze for 20 minutes or refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the gelatin to set before serving.

Pro Tips

• For an ultra-smooth mousse, strain the cooked raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds before adding it to the cream.
• Ensure your whipping cream and yogurt are very cold before whipping to achieve the best volume and stiffest peaks.
• Don’t have arrowroot? You can substitute it with 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum. Whisk it into the cream mixture instead of cooking it with the berries.
• For a different flavor profile, swap the cherry gelatin for sugar-free raspberry or strawberry gelatin.

FAQ

Q: Can I make this keto mousse without an Instant Pot
A: Yes, you can make the raspberry compote on the stovetop. Combine the raspberries, stevia, vanilla, and arrowroot powder in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes until the berries break down and the mixture thickens. Then, continue with the recipe as instructed.

Q: Why is there avocado in this raspberry mousse recipe
A: The avocado is a secret ingredient that adds healthy fats and an incredibly silky, creamy texture to this keto dessert. It enhances the richness of the mousse without altering the delicious raspberry flavor, making it a truly guilt-free treat.

Q: What is a good substitute for arrowroot powder
A: If you don’t have arrowroot powder, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum as a thickener. Instead of cooking it with the berries, whisk the xanthan gum directly into the heavy cream and yogurt mixture before combining it with the raspberry compote.

Q: How long can I store this low-carb dessert
A: This Instant Pot Raspberry Mousse can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Prepare the dessert in individual serving glasses and cover them tightly before refrigerating. This makes it a perfect make-ahead option for any occasion.
