Ingredients
  

For the Mousse Base
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Opt for Dutch-processed cocoa for a smoother taste.
  • 1/2 cup powdered erythritol Acts as a sugar substitute; consider stevia or monk fruit as alternatives.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Use fresh vanilla bean for a gourmet touch.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances chocolate flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  2. In another bowl, combine cocoa powder, erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt.
  3. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the whipped cream until well combined.
  4. Divide the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  5. Garnish with additional whipped cream or chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream for maximum fluffiness. Consider adding a splash of dairy-free milk to enhance creaminess without additional calories.
