Print Recipe

A quick, indulgent, and low-carb chocolate mousse recipe perfect for two servings. This creamy keto dessert is rich, silky, and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons (15 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) erythritol
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon espresso powder

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for about 15 minutes before starting.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder, erythritol, salt, and espresso powder if using. Stir to mix evenly.
  3. Pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, whip until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the vanilla extract to the whipped cream and briefly mix at low speed.
  5. Gently fold the cocoa powder and sweetener mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by folding in more erythritol or a few drops of liquid stevia.
  7. Divide the mousse into two small serving dishes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
  8. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh raspberries, mint leaves, or a dusting of cocoa powder.

Notes

Keep your mixing bowl and beaters cold to help the cream whip faster and hold texture better. Avoid overwhipping to prevent turning the cream into butter. Fold cocoa mixture gently to keep mousse light and airy. If mousse is too soft after chilling, refrigerate longer; if too firm, let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving. Optional espresso powder adds depth; fresh berries or shaved dark chocolate make great garnishes.
