This keto chocolate mousse is rich, creamy, and absolutely satisfying while keeping carbs low. With just a few simple ingredients, you’ll have a decadent sugar-free dessert ready in minutes.

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 0.25 cup powdered erythritol (or your favorite keto sweetener)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

• Start by grabbing a large mixing bowl and pouring in your cold heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer or stand mixer, begin whipping the cream until it starts to thicken slightly.
• Sift in the cocoa powder and add your powdered erythritol. Continue whipping until everything is well combined and the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
• Add in the vanilla extract and give it one last quick mix to blend it through. Be careful not to overwhip, or your mousse will turn into chocolate butter!
• Once the texture is smooth and airy, spoon the mousse into small serving cups or bowls. You can enjoy it immediately, or let it chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes if you prefer it extra set.

Notes

• Make sure your heavy cream is very cold before whipping, it helps achieve the fluffiest texture.
• Sift the cocoa powder to prevent lumps in your mousse.
• You can use monk fruit sweetener or allulose if you prefer a different keto-friendly option.
• Add a pinch of salt to deepen the chocolate flavor.
• Top with sugar-free whipped cream or fresh berries for extra indulgence.

My Best Tricks for Fluffy, Dreamy Mousse

One of the best things about this mousse is how forgiving it is, but there are still a few tricks that will take it from good to amazing. Think of these as little kitchen hacks to make your dessert even creamier, fluffier, and more indulgent.

• Use cold cream: Always start with chilled heavy whipping cream. It whips faster and gives you the best fluffy texture.
• Sift your cocoa powder: This prevents any clumps from forming and makes the mousse silky smooth.
• Sweetener swap: Erythritol works great, but if you want zero cooling aftertaste, try monk fruit or allulose. here’s a helpful guide on keto sweeteners like erythritol, monk fruit, and allulose.
• Don’t overwhip: Stop mixing as soon as you see stiff peaks. Overwhipping will turn your mousse grainy.
• Dress it up: A dollop of sugar-free whipped cream and a sprinkle of shaved dark chocolate take this to another level.

Fun Ways to Change Up Your Mousse

This recipe is perfect as-is, but the beauty of mousse is how easily you can change it up. Here are a few fun ideas to try:

• Berry swirl: Add a spoonful of mashed raspberries or blueberries before serving. It pairs beautifully with chocolate and keeps things fresh. (You might also love these keto blueberry muffins if you’re a berry fan.)
• Mocha mousse: Stir in 1 teaspoon of instant espresso powder along with the cocoa for a coffeehouse twist.
• Dairy-free option: Replace heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream. It gives the mousse a tropical flavor while staying keto. If you enjoy coconut-based treats, you’ll probably love this keto biscuit recipe with coconut flour.
• Peanut butter chocolate mousse: Swirl in 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter for a Reese’s-style flavor combo. You might also enjoy these classic keto peanut butter cookies.
• Frozen mousse: Pop the mousse into the freezer for a couple of hours and enjoy it like ice cream. For another frozen treat, check out my keto chocolate ice cream recipe.
