Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 0.25 cup Erythritol or Stevia
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 ounces Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate
- 2 large Eggs, separated
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Begin by melting the sugar-free dark chocolate. Chop the chocolate into small chunks to allow it to melt evenly. Use a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cocoa powder, erythritol or stevia, and a pinch of salt.
In a separate large bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside half of this whipped cream for folding in later.
Gently stir the melted chocolate and vanilla extract into the cocoa mixture. Then, add the egg yolks one at a time, stirring well to fully incorporate each yolk.
In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites until frothy using an electric mixer. Gradually increase the speed to high and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
Carefully fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, being cautious not to deflate the mixture.
Finally, fold the reserved whipped cream into the mousse mixture until smooth and uniform in color.
Divide the mousse evenly into four serving dishes. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing it to set and develop a creamy texture.
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of additional cocoa powder or shavings of sugar-free dark chocolate.
