Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
- 0.5 cup granulated erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ounces dark chocolate (85% cacao or higher), chopped
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the 1/4 cup of water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk, cocoa powder, instant coffee, and erythritol. Whisk together over medium heat until smooth and well-combined.
Heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate pan over low heat, melt the dark chocolate, stirring continuously to prevent burning. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-coffee mixture until well combined.
Pour half of the mixture into a 9x5 inch loaf pan, spreading evenly. Drizzle half of the melted chocolate over the top. Use a toothpick or knife to swirl the chocolate through the mixture slightly.
Add the remaining half of the cream mixture on top, smoothing it out evenly, and drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the surface. Swirl again to create a marbled effect.
Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Once set, slice into servings and enjoy your low carb mocha swirl!
