Ingredients
8 oz softened cream cheese (room temperature)
1 cup heavy cream (cold)
1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/2 cup powdered erythritol
Instructions
Place the softened cream cheese into a large mixing bowl.
Beat the cream cheese on medium speed until completely smooth and free of lumps.
In a separate small dish, whisk together the powdered erythritol and cocoa powder.
Gradually add the dry mixture into the cream cheese while beating at a low speed until incorporated.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while increasing the mixer speed to high.
Whip the mixture for approximately three minutes until stiff peaks form and the mousse has increased in volume.
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary, then transfer to serving bowls and serve chilled.
Notes
Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. For the best texture, chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes prior to starting. Always sift your cocoa powder before adding to ensure a smooth, clump-free mousse. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
