Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream, very cold, divided Keep it ice-cold for best results.
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese, full-fat, softened to room temperature Ensure it's at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • ½ cup Powdered Keto Sweetener, preferably an erythritol/monk fruit blend Adjust to taste.
  • ⅓ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, good quality Dutch-process recommended for deeper flavor.
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract Adds a depth of flavor.
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt Enhances chocolate flavor.
  • ½ teaspoon Instant Espresso Powder, dissolved in ½ tsp hot water (optional) Deepens chocolate flavor without coffee taste.
  • to taste Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips or Shavings, for garnish Opt for brands like Lily's.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pour 1 ½ cups of the very cold heavy whipping cream into a large, chilled bowl. Use an electric mixer on medium-high speed. Beat until stiff peaks form, then set aside in the fridge.
  2. In another bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered keto sweetener, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, salt, and the optional espresso powder. Add the remaining heavy cream and mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Take about one-third of the whipped cream and gently fold it into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Then, add the rest of the whipped cream, folding gently until just combined.
  4. Spoon or pipe the mousse into individual serving dishes, such as ramekins or cute glasses.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, preferably overnight for the best texture.
  6. Just before serving, sprinkle with sugar-free chocolate chips or shavings.

Notes

For fluffiest results, ensure your cream and mixing bowl are ice-cold. Adjust sweetness to taste and avoid overmixing to maintain texture. If you have leftovers, this mousse keeps well for about 3-4 days in the fridge.
