INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES
Mint Extract: You can use either peppermint or spearmint extract here, based on your preferences or what’s available.
Salt: I normally add a pinch of sea salt to most recipes I make (even dessert), but I find that this recipe doesn't need it because most commercially-available cream cheese is slightly salty.
Garnish Ideas: Finely powdered dried mint (or mint tea) and/or stevia-sweetened chocolate chips.

Prep time: 5 mins Total time: 5 mins
INGREDIENTS
- 8 oz (227 g) full-fat organic cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted grass-fed butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon granulated stevia (more or less to taste; or use your sweetener of choice)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon pure mint extract (more or less to taste; see Note)
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) heavy cream
INSTRUCTIONS
- Unwrap the cream cheese, place it in a large bowl, and microwave on high for 30 seconds to soften it. Add the melted butter, stevia, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract, and beat with a handheld electric mixer until smooth.
- Beat the heavy cream to stiff peaks in a medium bowl.
- Beat 1/4 of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the remaining whipped cream 1/4 at a time.
- Transfer to 5 individual glasses or bowls. Serve or cover and keep refrigerated up to 3 days before serving. (Note that the mousse will stiffen a bit as it chills, but isn’t too stiff to eat cold.)
