Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Casein Protein Powder (vanilla flavor)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 3 tablespoons Erythritol Sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Gelatin Powder
- 2 tablespoons Cold Water
- 2 tablespoons Dark Chocolate (70% cocoa or higher, chopped)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin powder over cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the casein protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and erythritol sweetener. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
In a separate large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks.
Gently fold the dry casein mixture into the whipped cream until combined, ensuring not to deflate the cream.
Place the bloomed gelatin in a microwave-safe dish and heat it on low for about 10 seconds or until completely dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly.
Slowly drizzle in the dissolved gelatin into the mousse mixture while gently folding it in to ensure even distribution.
Carefully fold in the chopped dark chocolate until evenly incorporated throughout the mousse.
Spoon the mousse evenly into 4 serving glasses or ramekins. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Chill the prepared mousse in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until set and firm.
Garnish with additional cocoa powder or chocolate shavings, if desired, before serving.
