Ingredients
  

  • Heavy whipping cream 1 cup
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder 2–3 tbsp
  • Powdered keto sweetener 2–3 tbsp
  • Vanilla extract ½ tsp
OPTIONAL ADD-INS
  • Enhance flavor & texture
  • Dark chocolate 90% / sugar-free 2 tbsp melted
  • Full-fat cream cheese 2 oz softened
  • Espresso powder ¼ tsp
  • Flaky sea salt 1 pinch

Method
 

1 Whip the Cream
  1. Pour 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream into a chilled bowl. Beat on medium-high speed until soft-to-medium peaks form (2–3 min). Do not over-whip.
2 Add Cocoa & Sweetener
  1. Sift in 2–3 tbsp cocoa powder and 2–3 tbsp powdered sweetener. Add ½ tsp vanilla extract. Fold gently with a rubber spatula using wide, sweeping strokes from the bottom up.
3 Adjust Texture & Flavor
  1. Taste and adjust sweetness or chocolate depth. Fold in any optional add-ins (melted chocolate, cream cheese, espresso powder) at this stage.

4 Chill & Serve
  1. Spoon or pipe into serving glasses. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (1–2 hours ideal). Top with whipped cream, raspberries, or a dusting of cocoa.

Notes

Use POWDERED sweetener — Granulated erythritol stays gritty in cold cream.
  • Fix over-whipped cream — Fold in a splash of fresh cold cream to smooth it out.
  • For thicker mousse — Add 2 oz softened cream cheese before cocoa.
For fluffier mousse — Whip to stiff peaks and fold very gently.
