1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

📖 Instructions
Whip the Cream
In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Make Almond Butter Base
In another bowl, whisk together almond butter, powdered sweetener, vanilla, and salt until smooth and creamy.
Fold Together
Gently fold the whipped cream into the almond butter mixture in batches until fully combined and fluffy.

🔑 Notes & Tips
For a sweeter mousse, add 1–2 more tablespoons of powdered sweetener.
If your almond butter is very thick, warm it slightly in the microwave to make mixing easier.
To lighten the flavor, fold in a spoonful of cream cheese for a tangy cheesecake-style mousse.
🌟 Variations
Mocha Mousse: Add 1 tsp instant espresso powder to the almond butter mixture.
Chocolate-Almond Mousse: Stir in 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder.
Peanut Butter Swap: Substitute peanut butter for almond butter (still keto-friendly if unsweetened).
❄️ Storage
Fridge: Store covered up to 4 days.
Freezer: Freeze in ramekins up to 1 month; thaw slightly before serving for a frozen mousse treat.
