Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Powdered erythritol or sugar-free powdered sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 ounce Dark chocolate (90% cocoa or higher, optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, unsweetened cocoa powder, and powdered erythritol.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and continue to whip for another 1-2 minutes until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can turn gritty.
Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding a small amount of powdered erythritol to your preference, then gently mix again.
Divide the chocolate mousse evenly among four small serving bowls or glasses.
Optional: Grate the dark chocolate on top of each serving for an elegant garnish.
Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for a firmer texture, or enjoy immediately if you prefer it softer.
