Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, cocoa powder, erythritol, espresso powder (if using), and salt. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it becomes thick and fluffy.
  2. Add the vanilla extract and continue beating until well incorporated.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate chips in short intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and creamy.
  4. Slowly drizzle the melted chocolate into the mixing bowl with the whipped cream mixture, while continuously beating on low speed. Make sure the chocolate is well incorporated.
  5. Divide the mousse into individual serving glasses or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and chill.
  6. Before serving, you can garnish the mousse with additional whipped cream, dark chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an extra touch of indulgence.
  7. Enjoy your creamy and decadent keto chocolate mousse!

Interesting Facts

  • The use of erythritol as a sugar substitute in this recipe helps to keep it keto-friendly. Erythritol is a natural sugar alcohol that is low in calories and does not raise blood sugar levels.
  • Adding a small amount of instant espresso powder enhances the chocolate flavor and provides a subtle hint of coffee, giving the mousse a more complex taste.
  • Dark chocolate is a rich source of antioxidants and can have potential health benefits when consumed in moderate amounts. Opting for sugar-free dark chocolate ensures the dessert remains low in carbs.
