Keto Lemon Posset

11 ratings

Traditionally rich with sugar, this take on the classic lemon syllabub uses keto friendly xylitol to sweeten this decadent dessert.

Rich and creamy with a twist of citrus, this low carb dessert is so simple to make. Perfect for dinner guests or just when you fancy a little indulgence!

The recipe has been produced to fill 3 large ramekins, however this would work perfectly for 4 smaller desserts.

I love this recipe. I purposely planned my day around this dessert. Yes, the calories are high but it wasn’t a problem. It fit perfectly into my 1,750 calorie allowance per day. This will be a staple dessert in my home.

This is insane the amount of calories. Delicious but for SURE not worth it if you are trying to loose weight. Be mindful

  Too worried about counting calories. It’s only part of the KETO diet. Do you not get that eating FAT is what gets you to burn FAT? Besides eating something satiating, as this undoubtedly is, you won’t be hungry so soon. If you are, eat some celery or kale.

  For someone like myself on Keto, this is actually a huge fat bomb that really helps get my macros in when I am short. But if you are trying for a calorie deficit, you’re right, it’s a lot for a little.

Xylitol has a relatively high glycemic effect. While Stevia doesn't affect blood sugar, it does raise insulin, so I used allulose, which lowers both blood sugar and insulin (so does monk fruit). This was delicious and creamy, and I'm looking forward to trying it with lime, as I prefer it over lemon! I left off the nuts as I have a serious nut addiction.

This was very easy! And satisfying. A little goes a long way. One serving I used as a dip with fresh strawberry. They were an amazing pair!!

I cannot use sugar alcohols. So I’d swap monk fruit drops (4-5 drops per serving). Also dry lemon peel should work just as well

I love this recipe - so satisfying! I wonder if there is a way to make it with almond or coconut milk for my lactose intolerant daughter? She loves lemony things

  Im sure if it did not set up well on it's own you could add some unflavored gelatin to give it an equivalent texture

  @PhyllisB Hard to say. Does coconut cream curdle? It's not the consistency of the fat that matters. What makes this work is the ability of the acid from the lemon juice to curdle the fat of the cream, but you'd have to try it. Otherwise, you'll end up with a lemon-coconut drink, which could be good, too.

  Lactose is the sugar in milk products. Heavy whipping cream is almost entirely fat and has almost no lactose to speak of.

  I wonder if coconut cream would work as a swap. It has a heavy consistency like heavy whipping cream

  Hi, I'm sure you could use this, however I have not tried this so you will need to adjust the level of sweetness accordingly.
