Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream OR 1 can full-fat coconut milk (use only the thick cream part, discard liquid)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp Dutch or additional regular cocoa powder
- 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
- Chill Ingredients and Equipment: Place the heavy cream or the can of coconut milk (if using) and a large mixing bowl in the refrigerator to chill. If using coconut milk, only scoop out the thick cream on top, discarding the watery liquid underneath.
- Whip the Cream: Using a stand mixer or hand beaters, whip the chilled heavy cream or coconut cream in the cold mixing bowl until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy texture.
- Add Cocoa and Sweetener: Gradually add the unsweetened cocoa powder, additional Dutch or regular cocoa powder, and the sweetener to the whipped cream. Continue whipping to blend all ingredients smoothly.
- Incorporate Optional Flavors: If desired, add the pure vanilla extract and instant coffee to the mixture. Whip again briefly to fully combine and enhance the mousse’s flavor profile.
Notes
- Using chilled ingredients and bowl helps achieve better whipping results.
- Instant coffee enhances the chocolate flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
- Adjust sweetness to taste with your preferred keto-friendly sweetener.
- For a dairy-free option, use full-fat coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours to maintain texture.
