Equipment

Large mixing bowl
Hand mixer or stand mixer
Rubber spatula
Measuring cups and spoons
Serving bowls or containers

Ingredients

Base Ingredients:

1 cup heavy cream cold
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
2-3 tbsp powdered erythritol or sweetener of choice, to taste
1 tsp vanilla extract

Toppings (Optional):

Sugar-free chocolate chips
Unsweetened cocoa nibs

Instructions

1️⃣ Whip the Cream:

In a large mixing bowl, add the cold heavy cream. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the sifted cocoa powder and powdered erythritol to the whipped cream while mixing on low speed.
💡 Tip: Ensure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping to achieve the best volume.

2️⃣ Add Flavor:

Add the vanilla extract and continue whipping until the mixture forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the mousse to separate.
💡 Tip: Taste the mousse at this stage and adjust sweetness or cocoa level as needed.

3️⃣ Serve and Garnish:

Transfer the mousse into serving bowls or an airtight container. For an extra touch, sprinkle sugar-free chocolate chips or cocoa nibs on top.
Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
💡 Tip: For a layered effect, alternate the mousse with sugar-free whipped cream in serving glasses.

Notes

Storage: Store the mousse in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Texture Variation: For a fluffier texture, fold in an additional ¼ cup whipped cream right before serving.
Chocolate Boost: Add 1 tsp espresso powder for a deeper chocolate flavor.
