The weather where I live is hot, and I am craving a red velvet cake, but I can not bring myself to bake or even turn on the oven in this heat.
A no-bake keto dessert is what I cheerfully need, and this keto red velvet mousse was a delicious, cool, and creamy solution!
This was inspired by my Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake Mousse on this site.
