Sugar Free Lemon Cheesecake Mousse is a light, low carb and an elegant dessert for a weeknight treat or to serve to company!
I’m all about that chase, ’bout that chase……
(You were thinking of that song, All about that Bass weren’t you? Well apparently I was LOL)
No seriously now, I’m always chasing that perfect dessert.
The easiest to make. The lowest carbs. The smoothest.
The one that doesn’t leave you stuffed after indulging. The one that doesn’t make you feel the least bit of guilt for eating. The creamiest of bites each time your spoon enters your mouth. That’s the chase I’m referring to.
And I’ve met my catch and this dessert is it.
Purely heavenly!
When you only need 5 ingredients to make it and it comes out looking like a million bucks and tastes like it too, well that is priceless to me.
The chase is worth the price in this case.
But the best part? You won’t be needing to chase down any ingredients, in fact you might have them in your kitchen all ready!
My husband is really not even of fan of stevia when I use it in no bake recipes. BUT for this one, since he loves lemon like I do, he devoured it and didn’t complain of any aftertaste.
The lemon is the star here!
Enjoy this easy and non time consuming treat any night of the week!!

Brenda’s Notes:
- I realize mascarpone cheese might be much more expensive than cream cheese, but I must tell you it is so worth it! The creaminess is undeniably better than just using regular cream cheese!
- The longer you whip the mixture the thicker it will become. Choose your consistency.
- If you don’t have liquid lemon stevia, use 1/8-1/4 teaspoon of lemon extract and 1 teaspoon clear liquid stevia. I prefer not to use powder or granulated sugar free sweeteners in this as the texture won’t be as smooth. But you can certainly use whatever sweetener you have on hand that you prefer. Just taste and adjust to your liking.

I was planning on making a cheesecake for Easter but I might just opt for these individual servings…Thanks.
I was thinking about turning it into a pie for Easter with other no bake crust recipes on my blog. Much easier than cheesecake too.
The texture on this is great. I used the Mascarpone cheese. But using a teaspoon of NuNaturals Pure Liquid Vanilla NuStevia Alcohol Free sweetener was awful! It seemed like it was too much liquid stevia and had a bitter aftertaste. It didn’t taste sweet. I didn’t add the lemon extract but added some vanilla extract to it.
I might try it again using a different sweetener.
NuNaturals liquid stevia is much sweeter than using Sweetleaf. I have to apologize because I used Sweetleaf and linked to the wrong one within my recipe. Each liquid stevia brand varies in sweetness. Sorry about that!
Can I use regular unflavored stevia?
yes
Sounds delicious! Do you think this would work with half and half instead of heavy cream? Thanks for all your yummy recipes!
Yes that would work, thanks!
I Love Lemon Cheese Cake and Love Mousse! So this is perfect for me 🙂
My dessert got lumpy and watery in the blender. What did I do wrong?
mine did too 🙁 i think i added the cheese, lemon juice and cream all at the same time. instead i should have creamed the cheese and lemon juice together first, then added the cream. i didn’t follow the directions correctly and ended up with cheese with lemon milk, ewe.
Oh so sorry that happened!
Mine sort of curdled.. Any ideas to correct that in future?
What I did, which turned out perfectly first time, was creamed the cheese and lemon juice for about 3-5 minutes on max speed. It’ll produce a smooth texture so you can add the cream then. if you blend it a bit more on medium speed, it’ll combine into a perfect, creamy texture.
Thanks for this recipe! It is winter in South Africa and I have bags of lemons. I was looking for an easy lemon recipe to serve for guests.
I was thinking to replace the cream with coconut cream, do you think that would work? Otherwise I can keep the cream.
Could i use powdered stevia? If so, do you know what the quantities would be?
Many thanks
I’d like to try it with Swerve… would you happen to know of how to convert it?
Swerve is not as sweet as stevia so I would say just 1/2 cup to start then taste and adjust.
I never thought I could drink a glass of lemonade again, or have desert of any kind. thanks to you I am sitting here drinking lemonade and planning on desert as soon as I can get to the store. Thank you so much
I made this lemon cheesecake, It’s creamy and turned out great. I added a little bit more lemon stevia but it still isnt quite sweet enough for my sweet tooth. What is I doubled the stevia?
You can use more liquid stevia if you feel you need it sweeter, just add a small amount and keep tasting it.
one more question, I made your whipping cream too. It says 1 or 2 teaspoons vanilla stevia, I tried two , but it made it very bitter. I see you can also use swerve. but I have tried to stay away from any artificial sweeteners that have sugar alcohol. I will try one teaspoon next time. any suggestions? I am brand new to this sugar free desert recipes so I will have lots and lots of questions. sorry, haha
The Swerve seems to help balance any bitterness when using stevia.
I love the serving glasses!
Can i use regular powdered stevia? If so, how much would you recommend? I don’t have liquid stevia and I’ll probably never use it otherwise.
It depends on if you have the pure stevia extract or something like a blend. If it’s the first choice, just 1/2 tsp, if it’s the later just add a small amount and taste and adjust.
I blended the Marscapone and lemon juice as per the recipe and the cheese just curdled. I didn’t add the cream just the cheese and lemon juice. Any suggestions?
That’s very odd. I’ve never had that happen in a no bake recipe and I use lemon a lot. Often lemon or any acid combined with a dairy product that’s been heated will have that effect but not usually in a no bake recipe. I’m really sorry about that.
I just made this! Mine wasn’t that thick I my lemons were pretty big so it my have been too much juice and also very tart. I put them in small containers and put cool whip on them closed them up and stuck in freezer and it is Delish! Thank you! Will definitely be trying this again!
Just made this and YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!!! I used regular liquid stevia, not flavored. The lemon juice was enough flavor. I plan to try this with Lime juice and top with Un-sweetened Coconut flakes.
Thank you so much for sharing your delicious recipes. I recently started going on a keto/paleo diet and as a person who loves sweets, it’s been frustrating not to have my sweets servings. Fortunately, I stumbled across your website and now I can have my sweets indulgence!
Thank you so much Brenda for such a simple, tasty recipe. I’ve made these on several occasions with different fruits and dark chocolate – just delicious. I’ve also tried alot of your other recipes – keep up the great work you do. Cheers, Diana
