    Why you are going to love our Lemon Rose Cardamom Cheesecake Mousse

    This rich dessert is delicately sweet and aromatic from the rose water, lemon and cardamom. super creamy

    Seriously simple dessert recipe that comes together in a snap and no baking or cooking. We have been crazy busy just like you but we love having guests. Our solution is to make simple make ahead desserts that taste like you slaved away in the kitchen all day. Well 15 minutes of good easy work anyways…throw some flour on your face and fake how hard it was to throw together.

    Perfect sweet ending to a Middle Eastern Feast

    Our Cheesecake Mousse is the perfect ending to our Slow Roasted Moroccan Spiced Leg of Lamb meal. The light citrus and just a touch of rose water and cardamom bring these delicious ethnic flavors alive.

    We served our Mousse cups with a pot of Healthy Moroccan Mint Tea. The combination of the rich creamy and the mint is heavenly.

    Garnishing your Lemon Rose Cardamom Cheesecake Mousse

    We topped our Mousse with crushed pistachios and edible dried rose petals. However, you could also top with in season pomegranates as the crunch is nice and that pop of red gorgeous this time of the year.

    Low Carb Deliciousness

    We made this dessert recipe low Carb, diabetic friendly and used a sugar alternative. This recipe is also gluten-free. If you want to make this recipe vegan, swap out the heavy whipping cream for coconut whipping cream and use vegan cream cheese.

    Rosewater

    Have you used rosewater before? Rosewater is the steeping of roses in water with a distillation process. The aroma of roses is said to be a powerful mood enhancer. It rids you of feelings of anxiety and promotes emotional well-being, thereby making you feel more relaxed. This time of year with all the extra stress and responsibilities you need all the stress reducers you can get.

    Rosewater can also be used as beauty treatment on your face and put a little on your pillow to help you sleep tight and wake up refreshed.

    Where can you buy rosewater?

    You can buy rosewater at Indian and Middle Eastern Provision stores or you can try stores like Trader Joe’s, Wholefoods or Health food stores or do like we did and avoid the crowds and just order it on Amazon.

    Rosewater is more of an aromatic than a taste in this beautiful Lemon Rose Cardamom Cheesecake Mousse. We feel the best way to gauge how much to add is to start with a teaspoon and add to your liking just until you start to smell the aroma. A little goes a very long way.

      What a beautiful dessert, I love all the flavours here. Rose water is such a lovely delicate flavour and when used well in a dessert it sends it to another level 😀 also I love a dessert that makes it look like you’ve spent hours in the kitchen 😉

        Thank you John. You bet! We are done with the craziness and decided to spend more time on what counts and that is family and friends and eating well without lots of fuss. This dessert ticks a lot of those boxes.
