🔑 Notes & Tips
- For a sweeter mousse, add 1–2 more tablespoons of powdered sweetener.
- If your almond butter is very thick, warm it slightly in the microwave to make mixing easier.
- To lighten the flavor, fold in a spoonful of cream cheese for a tangy cheesecake-style mousse.
🌟 Variations
- Mocha Mousse: Add 1 tsp instant espresso powder to the almond butter mixture.
- Chocolate-Almond Mousse: Stir in 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Peanut Butter Swap: Substitute peanut butter for almond butter (still keto-friendly if unsweetened).
