Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder For more intense chocolate flavor, sift to remove lumps.
3 tablespoons powdered erythritol Or preferred keto sweetener; adjust to taste.
3 ounces cream cheese, softened Make sure it's softened to avoid lumps.
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
a pinch salt

Equipment

1 mixing bowls
1 hand mixer or stand mixer with whisk attachment
1 rubber spatula
1 small sieve optional

Method

In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, cocoa powder, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt.
Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and well combined, scraping the sides as needed.
In a separate bowl, pour in the cold heavy whipping cream. Whip with the hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula, doing this in two stages for even mixing, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Taste for sweetness; adjust if needed by folding in a bit more sweetener.
Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls.
For best results, refrigerate for 30 minutes to set, but you can enjoy it immediately.

Notes

For more intense chocolate flavor, sift the cocoa powder into the mixture to remove any lumps.

Top with sugar-free chocolate shavings, a dollop of whipped cream, or fresh raspberries if desired.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 days.

Make sure your cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in your mousse.
