I love the idea of Peeps, but I am not a big fan of marshmallows. So as lemon bars are also sunny yellow, and way more delicious, I thought it only natural that a lemon bar Peep should exist.

Quick Keto Chocolate Mousse
This keto chocolate mousse is perfect when a sweet craving hits. It's so quick it will be ready in no time. No need to pre-whip the heavy cream — just throw everything into a bowl and mix! Use any keto-friendly granular sweetener that measures like sugar. I prefer the powdered version of Swerve, since it dissolves better. Adjust cocoa powder and sweetener amounts to suit your tastes. This is quite rich, so you don't need a lot to feel satisfied.
