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.
