Keto Chocolate Mousse Ingredients
To make this keto chocolate mousse, you’ll need some low carb ingredients and follow a few instructions.
Trust me – it’s easy-peasy to make this no-bake recipe that’s very versatile and festive.
Surprise your guests with a decadent chocolate dessert and I guarantee you that everyone will be delighted. Here are the main ingredients you’ll need:
- Cocoa Powder – The quality of the ingredients matters because you need dark and rich cocoa powder for the best flavors. Dutch-Process cocoa powder is my recommendation because it has a deeper chocolate flavor.
- Heavy Cream – If you are looking for a dairy-free keto dessert you can replace the heavy cream with high-fat coconut milk and follow the same steps.
- Sweetener – to sweeten the keto chocolate mousse, you can use your favorite sweetener: xylitol*, erythritol, or monk fruit.
* Xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs, so if you are puppy lover be very careful when using it.
How to Make Keto Chocolate Mousse?
There’s no wrong way to make a fantastic low carb chocolate mousse. This is a no-fail recipe that’s utterly satisfying and versatile.
Most chocolate mousse recipes require a bit more work and include melting chocolate, beating egg whites. Not in this recipe, here we focus on simplifying life.
- You’ll start by dissolving the grass-fed gelatin into warm water.
- Mix the sweetener and the fantastic cacao powder and then add the heavy cream and vanilla. Using a mixer beat until fluffy.
- Then slowly incorporate the gelatin, divide it into serving glasses, wait at least 30 minutes (works best overnight) and voila there you have it — the most amazing, easy to make sugar-free dessert ( ever!!).
5 Flavor Variations
Here are 5 flavor variations for keto chocolate mousse:
- Mint: Add a few drops of peppermint extract.
- Raspberry: Stir in some fresh or frozen raspberries for a fruity and tangy flavor.
- Hazelnut: Add some hazelnut butter or hazelnut extract for a nutty and rich flavor.
- Coffee: Add a shot of espresso or instant coffee powder to the mousse mixture for a rich and energizing flavor.
- Coconut: Add some unsweetened coconut flakes or coconut extract.
A Few Tips For Success
- Use high-quality ingredients to make a perfectly rich and creamy sugar-free chocolate mousse.
- It’s important to allow enough time for the mousse to set completely in the fridge. Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This will help it become firm and creamy.
- An electric mixer or stand mixer will ensure the mousse mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Is this Chocolate Mousse Paleo?
No, it’s not paleo suitable but it’s easy to turn it into a dairy-free dessert. Just use chilled coconut milk instead of the heavy cream.
Feel free to use any paleo sweetener you like such as coconut sugar, maple syrup or raw honey.
I don’t like to use stevia when there’s chocolate involved because I fell that it accentuates the aftertaste.
