How to make keto chocolate mousse

- Add in cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla and salt.
- Beat the chocolate mixture until stiff peaks form into whipped cream.
- Pipe or scoop into a bowl and enjoy!
Key ingredients
- Heavy cream – The heavy whipping cream is the base for this keto recipe. It is what gives the velvet, mousse-like texture. Using all whipping cream instead of cream cheese allows this recipe to save on carbs too.
- Sweetener – Use a sugar free sweetener like erythritol, allulose or a monk fruit blend. It’s best to use a powdered sweetener to ensure you have a smooth, creamy mousse. Using granulated sweeteners can cause you keto mousse to be graining or gritty.
- Cocoa powder – The cocoa powder gives the chocolate flavor in this recipe. It’s best to select a cocoa powder that is 100% unsweetened and doesn’t contain any sugar. Check the nutrition labels as some do contain added carbs and sugars. Another option is to use melted keto chocolate; however, you must make sure your heavy cream is warmed to room temperature. Using cold cream will solidify your melted chocolate as it is mixed.
- Vanilla – This is an optional ingredient but adds a little bit more flavor to your low carb chocolate mousse.
- Salt – Enhances the sweetness of the mousse without having to add additional sweetener.

Quick Tip
Chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes for ultra thick and smooth mousse.
It was not sweet enough – kinda had a bitter after-taste.
You can add more sweetener if desired. On keto, the longer you go without sugar, the less you need things sweet. So a little bit of sweetener can taste like a lot.
So fast and yummy.
This is a winner!!! Thank you
I just made this for the first time. Love it. Next time I’ll add crunchy peanut butter.
Can this Keto Chocolate Mousse be made in the NO2 charged canisters?
Anyone?
TIA
