2–3 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup dark chocolate (85% cocoa or higher), melted
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sweetener, and salt.
- Gently fold the cocoa powder mixture into the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
- Add the melted dark chocolate and vanilla extract to the mousse and fold until smooth.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Serve with keto-friendly toppings like whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or berries, if desired.
Notes
You can easily swap erythritol for other sweeteners like monk fruit, stevia, or xylitol.
For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream in place of heavy cream, and ensure the dark chocolate is dairy-free.
This mousse can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
