Description

Keto chocolate mousse is a creamy, low-carb dessert that combines rich cocoa flavor with the smoothness of whipped cream. This no-bake, easy-to-make mousse uses keto-friendly sweeteners and is perfect for those on a ketogenic diet or anyone seeking a healthier chocolate treat without added sugars.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of salt

Optional Toppings

  • Dark chocolate shavings (sugar-free)
  • Additional whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Start with the Cream: Pour cold heavy whipping cream into a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip the cream until soft peaks form, which means the cream stands up in little bends when the whisk is lifted.
  2. Add Chocolate and Sweetness: Sprinkle cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the whipped cream. Mix again at low speed until all ingredients blend smoothly and the mixture remains fluffy without becoming stiff.
  3. Chill the Mousse: Spoon the chocolate mousse into serving bowls or cups. Refrigerate for at least 20 to 30 minutes to let the mousse set and develop a better texture and enhanced flavor.
  4. Time to Serve: Remove from the fridge and serve chilled. Optionally, top with dollops of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or dark chocolate shavings for an extra special touch.

Notes

  • Ensure the heavy whipping cream is cold for better whipping and mousse texture.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste before chilling by adding more sweetener if needed.
  • Try adding a drop of peppermint, orange, or coffee extract for unique flavor variations.
  • Use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder to maximize chocolate flavor.
  • Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze in small portions for longer storage.
  • If serving to kids and keto sweeteners are not preferred, honey can be used as a substitute, though this will make it non-keto.
