There’s no better cook book to turn than Livia’s Kitchen when your sweet tooth comes out to play! If it’s not already a part of your kitchen library, then hopefully this scrummy (and ridiculously easy to make) Sugar-Free Lemon Mousse will tempt you to add this refined sugar-free bible to your collection!

This recipe is truly unique, and is one of the lighter options in this chapter. The lemon comes through so strongly in this mousse and is incredibly refreshing. It is a perfect dessert to serve after a really flavoursome meal as it helps to clear the palate.

3 tablespoons almond butter

Berries and/or lemon zest, to serve
