Description
This Keto Chocolate Mousse is a rich, creamy, and indulgent dessert made with just three simple ingredients. Naturally low-carb, sugar-free, and easily made dairy-free, it’s the perfect sweet treat for those following a keto lifestyle or anyone looking for a healthier dessert option.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream or 1 can full-fat coconut milk (chilled)
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp Dutch-process cocoa powder (or extra regular cocoa powder)
- ¼ cup sweetener of choice (monk fruit, erythritol, or allulose)
- Optional: ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- Optional: ¼ tsp instant coffee (for enhanced chocolate flavor)
Instructions
- Chill the ingredients: If using coconut milk, refrigerate the can overnight and scoop out only the thick part. Chill the mixing bowl for best results.
- Whip the cream: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the heavy cream or coconut milk until stiff peaks form.
- Add the remaining ingredients: Mix in the cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and instant coffee (if using) until smooth and fluffy.
- Serve and enjoy: Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and enjoy immediately, or chill for a firmer texture.
Notes
- Dairy-Free Option: Use full-fat coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
- Extra Rich Flavor: Fold in melted sugar-free chocolate.
- Nutty Twist: Top with chopped almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts.
