Ingredients
1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Optional: Dark chocolate shavings (90% cocoa or higher) for garnish
Directions
Prepare Your Tools: Ensure the mixing bowl and beaters are cold for best results—this helps whip the cream faster.
Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cold heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Add Flavor: Sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, and a pinch of salt. Add the vanilla extract.
Mix to Perfection: Continue whipping the mixture until it reaches a light, fluffy, mousse-like consistency. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can turn the cream into butter.
Serve and Garnish: Spoon the mousse into individual serving cups or glasses. Garnish with a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for an extra touch of elegance.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: Serve the mousse chilled for the best texture and flavor. It makes a perfect dessert for dinner parties or a quick snack to curb cravings.
Storage: Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir lightly before serving if needed. Avoid freezing, as it can alter the mousse’s creamy texture.
