It’s full of good fats, low-carb and totally satiating, so keto dessert doesn’t have to be boring.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tbsp powdered erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Optional: sugar-free chocolate shavings or berries for garnish

Equipment

• 1 Mixing bowls
• 1 Hand mixer or whisk
• 1 Measuring Spoons and Cups
• 1 Spatula
• 1 Serving glasses or bowls

Method

 

1. Whip the Cream: Add cold heavy whipping cream to a mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer until it forms soft peaks.
2. Whisk in Cocoa and Sweetener: Slowly whisk in unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, and salt, to avoid clumps.
3. Flavour with Vanilla: Add vanilla extract for extra richness and whip again until stiff peaks form, creating a fluffy mousse texture.
4. Texture Test: Mousse should be smooth, thick enough to hold its shape but doesn’t need to be stiff. Don’t whip too much or it will get grainy.
5. Chill: Pour mousse into serving cups of glasses, cover, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
6. Serve and Garnish: Add sugar-free chocolate shavings or fresh low-carb berries on top before serving for a decorative and delicious touch.

Notes

• Chill your heavy cream for better results when you whip it.
• Don’t whip too much, or the cream will go grainy on you.
• Add sweetener to taste with your sweetener of choice.
• For even more lusciousness, stir in some melted sugar-free dark chocolate.
• Chill before serving, definitely for best texture.
