Keto Cranberry Mousse for an Elegant Holiday Dessert
There’s one thing you can always find in my freezer and that is bags of fresh cranberries! I live in an area surrounded by cranberry farms and and when I drive by those large red flooded fields of cranberries, I know it’s time to stock up!
Are Cranberries Keto?
Many people are surprised how easy it is to fit cranberries into a keto lifestyle. The nutritional benefits of cranberries are impressive and you can read those details in Medical News Today.
Fresh Cranberries are low in carbs and high in fibre. One cup of cranberries has only 50 calories, 12g carbs and 5g fibre. So for this recipe, that is only 7 net carbs spread over 12 servings.
This does not apply to dried cranberries which are typically loaded with sugar. It is much better to dry your own in the oven or a dehydrator.
One thing I love about cranberries is that with their intense flavor, a little goes a long way.

Tips, Tricks and Hacks when making Keto Cranberry Mousse
