The Ingredients

This keto recipe uses only 3 ingredients:

• Heavy Whipping Cream (or double cream if you’re in the UK).
• Cococa Powder. To find a keto cocoa powder, find one that is 100% cocoa and free from added sugar or maltodextrin. If possible I do recommend using a dutch-process cocoa powder as this retains a more chocolately flavour.
• Cream cheese. This helps create a smoother texture but adds a bit of a tang to the flavour as well. Plus its a good source of fats to help you meet your macros.

Equipment

• 1 Electric Whisk
• 2 Mixing Bowls
• 4 Ramekins or glass dishes for serving

Ingredients

  

• 1 Cup Heavy Cream In the UK? Use 1 cup (237ml) Double Cream
• 6 Oz Cream Cheese Tip: If time allows, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature. This will make it easier to blend and ensure a smooth texture.
• 1/3 Cup Dutch-Process Cocoa Powder Using normal cocoa powder is ok, but dutch-process retains more of the chocolately flavour

Optional

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Topping Ideas

• Fresh berries, crushed nuts, or keto-friendly ice cream

Instructions

 

Blend Cream Cheese and Cocoa Powder

• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and keto cocoa powder. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to blend until smooth and well incorporated.

Whip the Heavy Cream

• In a separate large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on medium-high speed until it forms stiff peaks. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

Combine and Chill

• Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and cocoa powder mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; fold until well combined and smooth. If you are adding vanilla extract, add this during this step.

Serve and Enjoy

• Once chilled, serve the mousse as is, or top with your favorite keto-friendly toppings such as fresh berries, a sprinkle of extra cocoa powder, or a few shavings of dark chocolate.
