Description
A rich, light, and airy sugar-free keto chocolate mousse that delivers deep chocolate flavor with minimal carbs, perfect for a low-carb lifestyle.
Ingredients
1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tbsp powdered erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: 1 oz unsweetened dark chocolate, melted (for extra richness)
Instructions
- Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into a chilled bowl and beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Sift in the cocoa powder and powdered erythritol to prevent lumps.
- Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form and the mousse is smooth and fluffy.
- If using, gently fold in the melted unsweetened dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
- Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
- Serve chilled with optional toppings like whipped cream, fresh berries, shaved dark chocolate, or chopped nuts.
Notes
Use powdered sweetener to maintain a smooth texture.
Chill coconut cream and use only the solid portion for a dairy-free option.
For a chocolate-mint variation, replace vanilla with a few drops of peppermint extract.
Add a small amount of instant espresso powder for a mocha flavor.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Let sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes if too firm before serving.
