Ingredients
- 100 grams dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa, sugar-free)
- 240 ml heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 large eggs, separated
Directions
Step 1
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat 120 ml of the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat before it boils.
Step 3
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Step 4
Stir the chocolate and cream mixture until smooth and fully combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the erythritol while continuing to beat until stiff peaks are achieved.
Step 6
In another bowl, whisk the remaining 120 ml of heavy cream until it reaches soft peaks. Add the vanilla extract and unsweetened cocoa powder, and gently whisk until combined.
Step 7
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate mixture until well blended.
Step 8
Gently fold in the beaten egg whites into the chocolate-cream mixture, ensuring everything is evenly incorporated without deflating the mixture.
Step 9
Divide the mousse into four serving dishes and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Step 10
Serve chilled and enjoy your Keto Mousse au Chocolat!
