It's Valentine's Day and a lot of people think of desserts today. I know that I do at least. However, while eating you can't just go pick up a typical dessert you see in the stores today.
The dessert I bring to you was inspired by chocolate covered strawberries. In fact, this treat was being prepared near me today at work.
I bring to you white chocolate covered strawberry keto mousse. Man, that's a long name, but it gives you a good idea what to expect. :0)

You Have Options
Once the mouse has been cooled and firmed up, feel free to add some nuts or even keto friendly chocolate chips, such as Lilly's. To make look fancier, go ahead and dust some cocoa powder on top.
For those that eat and want some carbs with this dessert, get some strawberries or other fruit for them to eat with this mousse.
I did not make this treat to overly sweet but it's just the right amount of sweetness for me. If needed add some more erythritol.
You may also want more strawberry taste to this as this recipe only gives a nice light flavor to it. Add another teaspoon of the extract to bump up the flavor.
