Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Powdered erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 ounce Dark chocolate (85% or higher, finely chopped, optional for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and begin whisking it with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
Gradually add the unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered erythritol to the mixing bowl, continuing to whisk the mixture.
Add in the vanilla extract and increase the speed of the mixer to high, whipping the mixture until it forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to overwhip, as it could turn grainy.
Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness, if needed, by gently folding in a little more powdered erythritol to suit your taste.
Spoon the mousse evenly into four serving dishes or glasses. Optionally, chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
Before serving, sprinkle with finely chopped dark chocolate and garnish with fresh berries, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb chocolate mousse!
