Description
This rich and creamy keto chocolate mousse is a smooth, decadent low-carb dessert made with just a few simple ingredients. It’s sugar-free, gluten-free, and perfect for satisfying chocolate cravings while staying keto-friendly.
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat coconut cream (or heavy cream)
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2–3 tbsp powdered erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: sugar-free chocolate chips for garnish
Instructions
- If using coconut cream, chill the can overnight and scoop out the thick cream. If using heavy cream, ensure it is cold.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the coconut cream or heavy cream using a hand mixer until fluffy and soft peaks form.
- Add cocoa powder, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Continue whipping until fully combined and smooth, adjusting sweetness to taste.
- Spoon into serving dishes and chill for at least 30 minutes for best texture.
- Garnish with sugar-free chocolate chips if desired and serve.
Notes
- For best results, use powdered sweetener to avoid grainy texture.
- Chilling the mousse enhances thickness and flavor.
- You can substitute heavy cream for coconut cream if not dairy-free.
- Add a tablespoon of nut butter for a richer flavor variation.
