The Ultimate 3-Ingredient Keto Chocolate Mousse

The Ultimate 3-Ingredient Keto Chocolate Mousse

Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free, and Budget-Friendly

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream: Ensure it is very cold for the best volume.

  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Sifted to avoid lumps.

  • 1/3 cup Powdered Monk Fruit or Erythritol: Adjust based on your preference for sweetness.

  • Optional: 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract and a pinch of salt (to enhance the chocolate flavor).

Instructions

  1. Chill Your Tools: For the fastest results, place your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 5–10 minutes before starting.

  2. Combine Ingredients: Pour the cold heavy cream, cocoa powder, and sweetener into the chilled bowl.

  3. Whip to Perfection: Start your hand mixer on low speed to incorporate the cocoa powder (so it doesn’t puff up into the air). Gradually increase to high speed.

  4. Watch for Peaks: Beat for approximately 2–3 minutes until the mixture forms stiff peaks. You’ll know it’s ready when you lift the beaters and the mousse stands up straight without drooping.

  5. Serve or Store: You can eat this immediately, but it sets into a denser, “fudgy” texture if chilled in the fridge for 1 hour.


Why this works for your morning routine:

  • High Satiety: The healthy fats from the heavy cream help keep you feeling full until lunch, which explains why it’s been such a helpful tool for your progress.

  • Energy Stability: By using a sugar-free sweetener, you avoid the insulin spikes that usually lead to mid-morning crashes.
