How to make keto chocolate mousse
- Pour heavy cream into a large bowl.
- Mix until the heavy whipping cream begins to thicken.
- 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 & substitutions
- 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

How many servings will this receive make? Having 4 guests for dinner. Thank you.
It makes four 3/4 cup servings.
I made it with whipping cream, 1/2 cup of chocolate PB2, salt & vanilla- delicious, but a bit on the sweeter side. Thanks a bunch!
I just made this yesterday and my husband and I loved it. My son is not used to unsweetened chocolate so to him it was too bitter but that means more for us. I plan to make this many times over. Thank you so much.
By any chance do you have a recipe for peanut butter mousse or maybe a peanut butter cup type dessert?
I’m so glad you enjoy it! Yes, I do have a peanut butter mousse recipe: https://www.ketofocus.com/recipes/keto-peanut-butter-mousse/
Just made it used 80% dark chocolate that i melted and added sweetener, made 6 and they are lush !
Love this quick and easy dessert!!! I added 10 drops of caramel flavor monkfruit instead of sweetener, and topped it with chopped pecans, to die for!
Thanks for sharing this recipe, chefs kiss!
Hi!
I just made your keto cheesecake fluff. I love it! I would like to make it somehow with chocolate. Do you think it would work if I added cocoa powder to that? Kind of a mixture of the both? Thanks!
Glad you liked the cheesecake fluff! Yes, you can make a chocolate version with either cocoa powder or adding melted chocolate. If you use melted chocolate just make sure your cream is slightly warmed or warmed to room temperature at least so it doesn’t solidify the melted chocolate when added.
this is excellent!
ready in minutes !
I added just a tad more of the swerve powered sugar
This is delicious, easy and quick! I’ve never liked the thought of raw egg in traditional mousses so this truly fits the bill when I’m craving something sweet &
Chocolaty. Thank you!
