Keto Chocolate Mousse
If preferred, top the homemade chocolate mousse with either this Keto Ice Cream or Coconut Whipped Cream.
A friend who follows the ketogenic diet texted me after I gave her the recipe to tell that her non-keto family enjoyed the chocolate mousse so much that she hardly received any for herself.
If youโre vegan, as I am, you can easily make the dessert dairy-free by substituting coconut milk or coconut cream for the dairy. If youโre not following a low-carb or sugar-free diet, feel free to use ordinary sugar or your preferred sweetener.

Making keto mousse: steps
Gather all of your ingredients first. Before whipping the liquid with hand beaters until stiff peaks form and the liquid thickens, chill the heavy cream or coconut milk and the mixing bowl.
Add your preferred sweetener and cocoa powder after whipping. For the fullest flavor, I recommend including the Dutch cocoa if you can get it. Serve and enjoy once the mousse texture has been reached.
Any leftovers should be covered and kept in the fridge for two to three days.
Several flavours of keto mousse
Try these yummy variations on this simple low carb mousse recipe instead of chocolate.
White chocolate โ Instead of cocoa powder, use sugar-free white chocolate chips. Whip heavy cream to room temperature while the chips are melting. The remaining components from the list above should be added.
Pour strawberry syrup that is free of sugar into the mousse mixture.
1/4 cup of peanut butter should be substituted for the cocoa powder in the mousse recipe.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Liquid and a sizable mixing basin should be chilled. Use only the thick portion of the coconut milk at the top of the can if using it (discard the water underneath). Whip until stiff peaks form using a stand mixer or hand beaters. Whip in the remaining ingredients until a nice mousse texture is achieved.
