Ingredients

Scale

6 ounces 85% dark chocolate
1.5 cups heavy whipping cream (chilled)
3 tablespoons powdered keto-friendly sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)


Instructions

Heat half a cup of the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until it just begins to steam.
Add the broken pieces of 85% dark chocolate into the warm cream and stir constantly until smooth and glossy.
Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Combine the remaining cup of cold cream and the powdered sweetener in a large chilled mixing bowl.
Use an electric hand mixer on high speed to beat the mixture until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped cream using a silicone spatula until the color becomes uniform.
Divide the mousse into small individual glass bowls.
Refrigerate the portions for at least fifteen minutes before serving to allow the mousse to firm up.

Notes

Ensure the heavy whipping cream is well-chilled before whipping to achieve the best volume. Do not over-whip the cream once the chocolate is added, as the fat can separate. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
