Lately I’ve been obsessed or perhaps possessed with making mousse in my Instant Pot. Since the 4th is just around the corner and Sunday Supper is having a red, white and blue theme this week, I came up with this low carb vanilla mousse using my Instant Pot.
The red strawberries, blue blueberries and the white mousse are perfect for the holiday. This smooth and creamy, delicious dessert has only 2.5g net carbs!
About The Jars
The jars I used were these 4oz jars and while they are not very big, they are perfect for this rich dessert. You can use 4oz ramekins if you wish but if you use a different size jar it will effect the time in the Instant Pot. Depending on what size you use, I would add a few minutes onto the time.
One of the reasons I make this recipe so much is because it’s a breeze in the Instant Pot. It all started with a low carb chocolate mousse a while back that was excellent and that was what got me started on this mousse/Instant Pot kick.
Low Carb Vanilla Mousse Recipe
- To make these you start by heating water and Swerve sweetener in a small saucepan until it dissolves. Then take it off the stove and mix in your cream, almond milk and vanilla.
- In a bowl, whisk your eggs yolks and then add just a tablespoon of the cream mixture. Whisk until combined and then very slowly pour in the rest of the cream mixture while whisking. You want to make sure you don’t cook the eggs, but since you never bring the sugar and water to boiling, it should not be too hot to begin with.
- Once the mixture is well combined, pour into your jars. First add water to your Instant Pot along with the trivet. Place the jars on the trivet and cook on manual for 6 minutes.
When done cooking, quickly release the pressure and let cool a bit. Place in your refrigerator for a few hours to let it set.
I thought I screwed up this batch because it was a bit watery. However after refrigerating for a few hours it set to the perfect creamy, smooth consistency.
Low Carb Vanilla Mousse
By the way you don’t have to make these low carb or in a Instant Pot. Just substitute sugar for the Swerve sweetener and bake in your oven with a water bath for 30 minutes.

I llove how simple and easy this is and I never thought of using my instant pot to make a mousse. How creative. Can’t wait to try. Loving my instant pot these days.

Oh wow, I can’t wait to try this in my Instant Pot.

What a great idea. I really like the individual desserts – no chance to overeat unless you grab two. I bet the Instant Pot at the beach is a great time saver.This is one piece of equipment I wouldn’t mind dragging along on vacation, especially since it can do so much. Your mousse jars are so cute. Using seasonal fruit can really dress them up.

What a yummy dessert! I’m pinning for later when I actually break down and purchase an instant pot. Thanks!
Jolina says
Love those mini jars. I have ones that I think are 6 oz but you’re right, these 4 oz ones are just the perfect size for desserts. These look so creamy! And low carb means less guilt for me when I eat more than one 🙂

My daughter just got an Instant Pot. I will be sure to pass this along to her. I’m sure my grandkids would love this recipe.
