How to Make Keto Chocolate Mousse

  1. Chill the Bowl: Place your mixing bowl in the fridge or freezer for 10–15 minutes. This helps the cream whip better.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In the chilled bowl, add the heavy cream, cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Whip the Mousse: Use a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment. Start on low and increase to high speed, beating until soft peaks form. This takes 2–3 minutes.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the mousse. Add more sweetener or cocoa powder if you want it sweeter or more chocolatey.
  5. Serve or Chill: Spoon the mousse into small bowls or jars. You can serve it immediately or chill for 30 minutes to let it firm up.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use Powdered Sweetener: Granulated sweetener can make the texture grainy. Powdered erythritol blends in smoothly.
  • Chill Tools First: Cold cream and a cold bowl make whipping faster and easier.
  • Don’t Overwhip: Stop when soft peaks form. Overwhipping can make the mousse grainy or turn it into butter.
  • Add Flavor: A splash of peppermint extract or espresso powder adds extra depth.
  • Double the Batch: This recipe is easy to scale up for meal prep or serving a crowd.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Stir gently before serving.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the mousse for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before enjoying.
  • Serving Ideas: Pipe into cups, layer with berries, or serve in chocolate cups for a fancy look.
