Ingredients
  

For the mousse

  • 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream very cold, divided
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese full-fat, softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup Powdered Keto Sweetener preferably an erythritol/monk fruit blend (like Swerve Confectioners or Lakanto Powdered). Adjust to taste.
  • ⅓ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder good quality (Dutch-process recommended for deeper flavor)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt enhances chocolate flavor
  • ½ teaspoon Instant Espresso Powder optional, dissolved in ½ tsp hot water – deepens chocolate flavor without tasting like coffee
  • Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips or Shavings optional for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Pour 1 ½ cups (360ml) of the very cold heavy whipping cream into a large, chilled bowl.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
  • Set the whipped cream aside, preferably in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered keto sweetener, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, salt, and optional espresso powder.
  • Add the remaining ½ cup (120ml) of heavy whipping cream to the chocolate mixture and beat until smooth.

Folding and Chilling

  • Take about one-third of the whipped cream and gently fold it into the chocolate base using a rubber spatula.
  • Add the remaining whipped cream and continue to fold gently until no white streaks remain.
  • Spoon or pipe the mousse mixture into individual serving dishes.
  • Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or preferably overnight.

Serving

  • Once chilled, garnish the mousse with chocolate shavings or sugar-free chocolate chips just before serving.

Notes

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If freezing, portion into an airtight container and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving. For a firmer set, increase the cream cheese by an additional ounce.
