Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa, sugar-free)
- 240 ml heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 large eggs, separated
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat 120 ml of the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat before it boils.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Stir the chocolate and cream mixture until smooth and fully combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the erythritol while continuing to beat until stiff peaks are achieved.
In another bowl, whisk the remaining 120 ml of heavy cream until it reaches soft peaks. Add the vanilla extract and unsweetened cocoa powder, and gently whisk until combined.
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate mixture until well blended.
Gently fold in the beaten egg whites into the chocolate-cream mixture, ensuring everything is evenly incorporated without deflating the mixture.
Divide the mousse into four serving dishes and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Keto Mousse au Chocolat!
