Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2-3 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate (85% cocoa or higher), melted
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This will create a light and airy base for your mousse.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, and a pinch of salt to blend the flavors evenly.
- Combine Cocoa Mixture: Gently fold the cocoa powder mixture into the whipped cream to maintain its fluffiness while incorporating the chocolate flavor.
- Add Chocolate and Vanilla: Pour in the melted dark chocolate and vanilla extract, folding gently until the mousse is smooth and all ingredients are fully combined.
- Chill: Refrigerate the mousse for at least 1 hour to allow it to set and the flavors to meld together for a perfect texture and taste.
- Serve: Optionally, top with keto-friendly additions like extra whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries before serving for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Ensure the heavy cream is cold before whipping for best results.
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less erythritol according to taste.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 85% cocoa content to keep it keto-friendly and deepen the chocolate flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This mousse is naturally gluten-free and low-carb, making it suitable for keto dietary needs.
