Mousse desserts, which first appeared on the tables of European nobility in the 19th century, are incredibly popular today. They are made with cocoa and natural chocolate, as well as wild berries and fruits.

The range of mousse flavors is incredibly diverse, as are their recipes. Gelatin, agar-agar, starch, or semolina can be used as thickeners. We've previously described how to make them at home:

Today we'd like to offer you another incredibly delicious option: an airy, foamy dessert made with fermented baked milk and gelatin. We're sure this recipe will take pride of place in your personal collection of keto cooking ideas, as it's made without added sugar.

This stewed ryazhenka mousse has a rich flavor and aroma, pairs perfectly with chocolate, banana, and berries, and is also low in calories. If you use erythritol as a sweetener, the calorie content is only 59 kcal per 100 grams of the finished dessert!

We'll show you step-by-step with detailed photos how to make a ryazhenka mousse with instant gelatin and cocoa, but you can substitute any gelatin you have at home, and use Nesquik powder or melted real chocolate instead of cocoa. This will increase the calorie content, but it will be just as delicious.

Healthy dessert made from fermented baked milk with gelatin

Airy fermented baked milk mousse with gelatin – a simple homemade dessert recipe

Ingredients

Servings

Ryazhenka

300 ml
Water

50 ml
Gelatin (instant)

10 G
Cocoa powder

2 tsp
Erythritol

2 tsp

Preparation

Step 1

Before whipping the mousse, prepare the gelatin. The easiest way to do this is to dissolve 10 grams of instant granules in 50 ml of room-temperature water. Let the gelatin mixture sit for 5-10 minutes.

Step 2

Next, combine 300 ml of high-quality fermented baked milk at room temperature and 2 teaspoons of cocoa. Stir until completely dissolved and a smooth chocolate mass forms.

For a more intense flavor and chocolate color, use alkalized cocoa powder (but regular cocoa powder will work too).

Step 3

Add 2 teaspoons of erythritol and stir thoroughly until dissolved.

As a sweetener, you can use, if desired:

sugar;
powdered sugar;
natural honey.

Step 4

Melt the swollen gelatin in the microwave using short pulses (or the old-fashioned way in a water bath) and add to the previously prepared mass.

Step 5

Blend for 3-5 minutes until bubbly and fluffy. As you whisk, the fermented baked milk with gelatin begins to gradually thicken, and the bubbles don't rise to the surface as quickly.

Step 6

Pour the prepared porous mass into molds (you can use beautiful ice cream makers or regular glasses), cover with cling film and put in the refrigerator for at least 40-50 minutes.

Step 7

Children can serve the finished ryazhenka dessert with gelatin, garnished with coconut flakes, grated chocolate, chopped nuts, or fresh berries and fruit. Those trying to lose weight should limit the number of toppings, as each will significantly increase the calorie content.

We also suggest trying three more original flavors based on the classic recipe described above: “plombir,” “chocolate,” and “coffee.”

If a recipe that combines fermented baked milk with gelatin for thickening isn't suitable for you (for example, because the gelling agent is of animal origin), then try making this classic vegan dessert with agar agar and coconut milk.
