Description
A rich, creamy, and indulgent chocolate mousse that’s low in carbs, sugar-free, and perfect for those following a keto or low-carb lifestyle.
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2–3 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 1 oz dark chocolate (sugar-free, chopped) for extra richness
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, cocoa powder, erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Using an electric mixer or a hand whisk, beat the mixture on medium-high speed for about 3-5 minutes until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat it, as it can turn into butter.
- If desired, fold in the chopped dark chocolate to add an extra layer of richness and texture.
- Spoon the mousse into individual serving cups or bowls. Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to allow it to firm up.
- Once chilled, serve the mousse as is, or garnish with whipped cream, raspberries, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
Notes
- To make the mousse thicker, try whipping it a bit longer or refrigerating it longer to help it set.
- Can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- If you don’t have an electric mixer, you can still make the mousse by hand.
- This mousse is gluten-free and keto-friendly, making it suitable for various diets.
