    Keto Chocolate Mousse – Ready in only 10 minutes!

    This low carb and keto chocolate mousse is decadent and super easy to make. Uses only 4 ingredients (heavy cream, sweetener, unsweetened cocoa, and vanilla) and no chilling required!

    When I make keto desserts, I like them to be super easy with only a few ingredients.  Recipes like my 3 ingredient keto peanut butter cups, Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies, butter cookie fat bombs, and Keto Mug Cake.  This Keto Chocolate Mousse ticks all of those boxes, plus it is incredibly delicious.

    Most chocolate mousse recipes involve melting chocolate, separating eggs and beating egg whites, and chilling for hours in the fridge.  I avoided all of that with this easy recipe!

    This recipe is a denser chocolate mouse (my favorite) because it doesn’t incorporate beaten egg whites.  It would be easy to make this lighter, though, by incorporating 3 egg whites beaten to stiff peaks.

    HOW TO MAKE KETO CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

    What we need to make this recipe is heavy cream, sweetener, sifted cocoa powder, and vanilla.

    The first step in making this delicious keto dessert is whisking the heavy cream until it gets nice and thick.  It’s usually ready when you start to see ribbons form in the cream.  You can whisk the cream by hand or you can use a stand mixer, or even a hand mixer.

    Now we are going to add in the sweetener, sifted cocoa powder, and the vanilla and whisk a little more until everything is all combined.

    My on my, this keto chocolate mousse is so dense, rich, and decadent.  It will satisfy your chocolate craving in only a few bites.  I promise.

      Fantastic recipe! I doubled the recipe because I was having 6 people for dinner. I didn’t have the sweetener and I ended up adding 3 small packages of stevia. It was a huge hit and everyone loved it!
      Thank you,

      This mousse is delicious and so easy to make for a Valentines dessert that both my husband and I enjoyed. Only problem was that the salt didn’t distribute well. It didn’t ruin it but do you have a tip for doing better next time? Could I put the salt in the cream before wipping?

      This is amazing! So easy & delicious. Thanks for all the comments about putting everything in the Nutri Bullet & blend for a minute or two until the sound changes & you know it’s done. I’m so glad I discovered your site.

        Hi Pamela, can you use a nutribullet instead of whisking?

      Ok, this is to die for! I found it to be super bitter with stevia powder so I added a tbs of monk fruit too. I am allergic to erythritol (fun to find out the hard way) so mine is pure monk fruit. I am on keto for medical treatment and was craving something sweet but didn’t want to blow the keto diet. This hit the spot!!! A little really does go a long way with this mousse. I see myself having this even when I am able to get off the keto diet.

      this is so good! sometimes, I have a hard time getting the cream to stiff peaks as I don’t have a mixer. about how long should I mix it by hand for? Usually, it turns out liquidy when I add the other ingredients and I have to let it solidify in the freezer or fridge.

      Thanks!
