This Ultra Creamy Low Carb Mocha Cheesecake Mousse is the perfect dessert for any week night and elegant enough for having a dinner party! It's sugar free, low carb, and keto! Thank you to Atkins Nutritionals for sponsoring today's post!
When it comes to sustaining a low carb diet, you will learn real fast that healthy fats help keep you satiated. Planning your day with balanced amount of healthy fats, optimal protein and high-fiber carbs is an important part to each meal you eat and how long your body can go between meals without hunger pangs.
For me, the lasting changes to living my sugar free life have always been having foods that make me feel satisfied and never deprived. I've got a massive sweet tooth and need to include sugar free, low carb desserts in my weekly menu planning or I know sticking to this way of life won't last.
Thankfully you don't have to research too hard or reinvent the wheel of low carb living when there are websites like mine focused on recipes that make living this way easier. Atkins Nutritionals has been a prominent force in the low carb lifestyle for decades. Even if you may have tried their program years ago, they've now included a variety of dietary plans to suit your needs with their Atkins 40, Atkins 20 and Atkins 100 plans.
Whichever plan you're on or even if you're just thinking about lowering your carb intake, this recipe today will make you wonder why you ever worried about taking the low carb plunge before. It's decadent and so filling you'll be completely satisfied and I'm also pretty confident you'll want to make this on a weekly basis! With a recipe like this one, you'll not feel the need to go back to sugary carb filled desserts any time soon.
Enjoying this as a dessert or even as a breakfast would be perfectly justifiable in my book!

tricia bird
i'm guessing you could use the other flavors as well to create all kinds of yummy treats!
Brenda
Sure!
Angela
This looks fantastic. Just curious, what would happen if you omitted the gelatin?
Brenda
I don't think you'll have a very thick texture nor will it set properly.
Nanabella
If you are vegetarian or vegan you could use agar-agar...
Nanabella
Or even glucomannon maybe...
Lynda
Please look at the ingredients in the Atkins shake before using this in your cooking, or putting this into your body.
It is nothing but chemicals, extremely toxic oils and endocrine destroying soy products. This is NOT food for anyone I love. In fact it isn't fit for consumption by human or animal.
Angie
I love Atkins products! So convenient when you are out and about and have to grab a snack on the run. And a great way to get my protein, fibre and vitamins. Lynda - this is a sugar free website with options for everyone. If you don't like sugar free products, you're probably in the wrong place... Keep up the great work Brenda - your recipes are amazing!
Brenda
Thanks so much Angie!
Jill
True. I'm going to look for muscle milk lean shakes in same flavor.
Flor Vargas
Hi. Is there a substitute for the mocha latte? Its not available here in the Philippines. Thank you!
Brenda
Maybe try melting some sugar free chocolate and stirring it into the same amount of heavy cream that I used from the shake.
