This Keto Chocolate Mousse is a rich, creamy, and low-carb dessert perfect for satisfying chocolate cravings while adhering to keto dietary guidelines. Using heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a keto-friendly sweetener, this mousse offers a smooth, decadent texture with minimal ingredients and an easy preparation process.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream OR 1 can full-fat coconut milk (use only the thick coconut cream part)

Chocolate Mix

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp dutch-processed or additional regular cocoa powder

Sweetener & Flavorings

  • 1/4 cup sweetener of choice (e.g., monk fruit blend)
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp instant coffee

Instructions

  1. Chill bowl and liquid: Place a large mixing bowl and your liquid base (heavy cream or coconut cream) in the refrigerator or freezer until well chilled; this helps in achieving firmer whipped peaks.
  2. Prepare coconut milk (if using): If using coconut milk, open the can and scoop out only the thick cream at the top, discarding the watery part underneath.
  3. Whip the cream: Using a stand mixer or hand beaters, whip the chilled cream or coconut cream until it reaches stiff peaks—meaning the cream holds its shape firmly when the beaters are lifted.
  4. Add dry ingredients and flavorings: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, dutch-processed cocoa, sweetener, vanilla extract, and instant coffee (if using) to the whipped cream.
  5. Combine and whip: Continue whipping gently until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture reaches a smooth, mousse-like texture.
  6. Serve or chill: Serve immediately or chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for a firmer texture before serving.

Notes

  • Using cold equipment and ingredients is crucial for achieving the perfect mousse texture.
  • Instant coffee enhances the chocolate flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Adjust sweetener quantity based on personal taste and the sweetness of your chosen sweetener.
  • For dairy-free/Keto vegan variation, use only full-fat coconut cream and ensure the sweetener is plant-based.
  • This mousse can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
