Description
A rich and smooth chocolate mousse that is low in carbs, perfect for guilt-free indulgence.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dark chocolate (around 70% cocoa)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup low-carb sweetener (Erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Berries or nuts for garnish
Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: You’ll need dark chocolate, heavy cream, eggs, and your sweetener of choice.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a double boiler or a microwave, gently melt the dark chocolate, stirring until smooth.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and sweetener until the mixture lightens in color—about 3-4 minutes.
- Combine: Fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture gently, then fold in the whipped cream.
- Chill: Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and allow it to chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
- Garnish and Serve: Top each mousse with a few berries or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
Notes
Sifting cocoa powder can enhance texture. Refrigerating the mousse overnight allows flavors to meld beautifully.
