Keto Chocolate Mousse
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream, cold ☁️
- 2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder (high quality for the best flavor!) 🍫
- 2-3 tbsp Powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener ☁️
- ½ tsp Vanilla extract 🍦
- Optional Topping: Sugar-free dark chocolate shavings or chunks 🍫💎
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the Bowl: For the fluffiest results, place your mixing bowl in the freezer for 5 minutes before starting. A cold bowl helps the cream whip faster! ❄️🥣
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the heavy cream, cocoa powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract into the chilled bowl. 🍦🍫☁️
- Whip to Perfection: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, start on low speed to incorporate the cocoa powder (so it doesn’t fly everywhere!). 🌪️💨
- Increase Speed: Turn the mixer to medium-high and whip until stiff peaks form. You want it thick and velvety as seen in the photo! ⏲️📈🤤
- The Final Touch: Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or a beautiful stemmed bowl. 🍨✨
- Garnish: Top with a generous sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings for that extra “wow” factor! 🍫💎👑
- Chill & Serve: You can eat it right away, but letting it chill in the fridge for 30 minutes makes it even more set and delicious! 🍽️😋🧤✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Powder” Secret: Always use powdered sweetener! Granulated sweetener won’t dissolve properly in cold cream and can leave your mousse feeling gritty. ☁️🛡️💎
- Flavor Boost: Add a tiny pinch of espresso powder to the mix—it doesn’t make it taste like coffee, but it makes the chocolate flavor taste much deeper and richer! ☕🎯🍫
