It sounds like you’re looking for a “Low Carb Chocolate Mousse” recipe! Here’s a simple and delicious way to make a low-carb version of this classic dessert, using ingredients that won’t spike your blood sugar.
Low Carb Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2-3 tbsp powdered erythritol or your preferred low-carb sweetener (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: 1-2 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted (for a richer flavor)
Instructions:
- Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Prepare Cocoa Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder, powdered sweetener, and salt together.
- Combine: Gently fold the cocoa powder mixture into the whipped cream, adding the vanilla extract and melted chocolate (if using) at the same time. Stir until fully combined and smooth.
- Chill: Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until it firms up.
- Serve: Top with whipped cream, shaved dark chocolate, or a few raspberries for a fancy touch if desired.
Tips:
- For a creamier texture, use a high-fat content heavy cream (around 36% fat).
- You can adjust the sweetness to your taste. Erythritol works well, but if you prefer another sweetener like stevia or monk fruit, feel free to swap.
- If you like a slightly more intense chocolate flavor, the addition of melted unsweetened chocolate is great, but it’s optional.
This mousse is rich, creamy, and decadent without the carbs. Enjoy!
