Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • Cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-process or natural)
  • Powdered keto sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit blend)
  • Vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • Optional add-ins: espresso powder, sugar-free dark chocolate shavings, peppermint extract, almond extract, or a spoonful of almond butter

Method
 

  1. Chill your tools: Place a mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for 10 minutes. Cold tools help the cream whip faster and fluffier.
  2. Whip the cream: Pour cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Beat on medium-high until soft peaks form. Do not overbeat. Set aside.
  3. Soften the cream cheese: In a separate bowl, beat the room-temperature cream cheese until smooth and lump-free.
  4. Add the dry ingredients: Sift in cocoa powder and powdered sweetener. Add a pinch of salt. Beat until fully combined and glossy.
  5. Flavor it: Mix in vanilla extract. If using, add 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor.
  6. Lighten the base: Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the chocolate base to loosen it. Use a spatula and light strokes.
  7. Finish folding: Add the remaining whipped cream in two additions, folding just until no streaks remain. Keep it airy.
  8. Taste and adjust: If you want it sweeter, fold in a little more powdered sweetener. If too thick, add a splash of cream and fold gently.
  9. Chill or serve: Spoon into serving dishes. Chill for 30–60 minutes for a firmer set, or enjoy immediately for a softer mousse.
  10. Garnish: Top with a dollop of whipped cream, cocoa dusting, sugar-free chocolate shavings, or a few raspberries.
