Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate and Cream Base:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) sugar substitute of choice (e.g., erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit)
Flavoring:
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Topping:
- Lily’s dark chocolate chips (zero carb variety)
Instructions
- Chill a mixing bowl and whisk in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to ensure optimal cream whipping conditions.
- Pour cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl and vigorously whip using an electric mixer at medium-high speed until soft, billowy peaks emerge.
- Sift cocoa powder directly over the whipped cream to prevent clumping, then sprinkle sugar substitute and vanilla extract across the surface.
- Continue whipping the mixture, gradually increasing mixer speed to high, creating dense, voluminous peaks that hold their shape when the whisk is lifted.
- Delicately incorporate dark chocolate chips by using a silicone spatula, folding gently to maintain the cream’s airy texture.
- Distribute the mousse evenly into individual serving glasses or a single container, creating smooth, elegant surfaces.
- Garnish the top with additional chocolate chips for visual appeal and textural contrast.
- Place the mousse in the freezer at 0°F for approximately 120 minutes, allowing it to set while maintaining a creamy consistency.
- Remove from freezer and let stand at room temperature for 3-5 minutes to soften slightly before serving, ensuring a luxurious, melt-in-your-mouth experience.
Notes
- Customize sweetness by adjusting sugar substitute amount for personal taste preferences.
- Use cold heavy cream and chilled mixing bowl to achieve perfect whipped texture quickly.
- Experiment with different sugar-free chocolate chips like stevia-sweetened or monk fruit options for variety.
- Prevent ice crystals by storing mousse in an airtight container with plastic wrap directly touching the surface.
