    Easy Keto Lemon Cream Fool is a simple to make, low-carb treat, which tastes like having a lemon cream pie in a glass.

    This yummy recipe, however, is so much easier to make than a pie!

    The lemon cream fool is a lovely, refreshing treat.  You simply layer my keto lemon curd and whipped cream that is combined with lemon curd to make a lightly citrus-flavored sweet whipped cream in a dessert glass or a shot glass.

    I used my homemade easy keto sugar free lemon curd in this recipe for the best tasting results, but you can also use store-bought sugar-free lemon curd as well.

    My husband and kids have begged me to make this treat repeatedly this month because it is just simply that good and they can't get enough of it!

    Common Questions About the Easy Keto Lemon Cream Fool Recipe:

    What is a fool, and how does it differ from a mousse?

    A fool (not the silly human kind, lol) is traditionally an English dessert involving whipped cream or custard with fruit. 
    A mousse is typically a French dessert whipped with egg whites or cream with gelatin. Although I usually use cream cheese instead of raw egg whites in my mousse recipe. 

    Do you need to refrigerate this dessert for it to set or thicken?

    No,  it is ready to eat as soon as you prepare it, and you can serve it immediately.

    Can I make this dessert in advance?

    Yes, you can make this in advance and store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    How Do I make the sugar free lemon curd?

    I have an easy Keto Lemon Curd recipe you can use, but you can also use a store-bought sugar-free lemon curd if you can find one. I could not find one in the stores in my area.

    Can I double the recipe to make four lemon desserts?

    Yes, you can double the recipe to make four desserts.

      just wondering: why granulated and not powdered sweetener?

        Shelly, you can use powdered or granulated sweetener in the cream part of the recipe.

      Just tried this, absolutely epic! Can’t believe you can get such sophistication from such few and easy ingredients, really really worth it! The cream whipped up to thick to to quick allow sweetener to dissolve so was granular, but will know for next time!

      I would much rather have this than a piece of pie! No pesky crust, which usually doesn't taste like much, anyway. This looks like the perfect easy dessert!

      So delicious and special. I don't know what it is about lemon, but it's right up there with chocolate for satisfying desserts! What a great way to make an easy dessert, too. We love your lemon curd recipe, and now have one more way to enjoy it! 🙂
