Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. Combine crushed graham crackers with melted butter (and sweetener if using). Press into dessert cups to make an even layer. Chill for a firmer crust.
Whip the Cream
  1. In a large bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks. Gradually add lemon liquid stevia and salt, then whip to stiff peaks. This gives mousse its smooth, fluffy texture.
Blend the Cheesecake Base
  1. Blend softened cream cheese (or mascarpone) until smooth. Mix in lemon juice, zest, and pre-bloomed gelatin (water + gelatin). Blend on high until creamy.
Fold & Assemble
  1. Use a spatula to gently fold whipped cream into the cheesecake base. Spoon or pipe over prepared crust using a piping bag or Wilton tool.
Chill & Garnish
  1. Refrigerate 1–2 hours (or overnight). Top with fresh lemon zest, berries, sugar‑free whipped cream, or chocolate chips before serving.
