What We Love About This Recipe
- Keto chocolate mousse is SO easy to make and only needs 3 ingredients! You can include vanilla extract as an optional 4th ingredient if you want to offset the chocolate flavor a little, but it’s not required.
- It’s rich and indulgent, without being loaded with sugar. Since we use a keto-friendly, non-sugar sweetener, this chocolate mousse has an overall low glycemic impact. The same isn’t true for traditional chocolate mousse recipes, making this one a win for anyone watching their sugar and carb intake.
- It’s thick and creamy and light and fluffy – the perfect mousse texture! You’ll want a hand mixer or stand mixer for this one. Getting those stiff peaks by hand will take some elbow grease.
Chef’s Tips
- Make sure your heavy cream is really cold to start. Don’t freeze it, though! Cold heavy cream is key to getting a light and fluffy mousse. It incorporates more air while mixing than room-temp cream, which also increases the mixture’s volume. A mousse made with cold cream will be more stable, too, holding its whipped texture longer.
- Along those lines, chilling your mixing bowl and whisk before starting can help your mousse develop more quickly.
- Be careful not to over-whip the mousse. Stop when the mousse is thick and incorporated enough that you can hold the whisk up horizontally without any of the mousse on the whisk drooping or falling off. Mixing beyond that will create solid clumps and eventually a butter-like consistency.
- If you do happen to over-whip your keto chocolate mousse, you can try to salvage the mixture by gently folding in more heavy whipping cream. Add the cream in 1-tablespoon increments, incorporating it fully until your mixture is smooth again.
