Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 0.25 cup Erythritol or Stevia
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 ounces Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate
- 2 large Eggs, separated
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Begin by melting the sugar-free dark chocolate. Chop the chocolate into small chunks to allow it to melt evenly. Use a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cocoa powder, erythritol or stevia, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside half of this whipped cream for folding in later.
Step 4
Gently stir the melted chocolate and vanilla extract into the cocoa mixture. Then, add the egg yolks one at a time, stirring well to fully incorporate each yolk.
Step 5
In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites until frothy using an electric mixer. Gradually increase the speed to high and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
Step 6
Carefully fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, being cautious not to deflate the mixture.
Step 7
Finally, fold the reserved whipped cream into the mousse mixture until smooth and uniform in color.
Step 8
Divide the mousse evenly into four serving dishes. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing it to set and develop a creamy texture.
Step 9
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of additional cocoa powder or shavings of sugar-free dark chocolate.
