This quick and easy keto chocolate mousse satisfies sweet cravings without compromising your low-carb lifestyle. Made by simply mixing cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla, sweetener, cocoa powder, and salt, it's rich, fluffy, and ready in just 10 minutes with no need for pre-whipping.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup powdered zero-calorie sweetener (such as Swerve)
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Beat Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it becomes light and fluffy, preparing the base for the mousse.
  2. Add Heavy Cream and Vanilla: Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Mix gently to combine the ingredients smoothly.
  3. Incorporate Sweetener, Cocoa, and Salt: Mix in the powdered sweetener, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated. Increase mixer speed to high and beat for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Serve or Refrigerate: Serve the mousse immediately for a soft texture or refrigerate to chill for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • You can pulse granular sweetener in a blender or food processor to make a powdered version that dissolves better.
  • For variation, experiment with different flavored extracts in place of vanilla, such as almond or peppermint.
  • This mousse is quite rich, so small portions provide a satisfying dessert experience.
