Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for a low-carb chocolate mousse:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2-3 tablespoons low-carb sweetener (such as erythritol or stevia), adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Dark chocolate shavings or grated dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Chill the mixing bowl and beaters: Place the mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes before starting. This helps the cream whip up faster.
- Whip the cream: Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl. Use an electric mixer to whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat, as it can turn into butter.
- Add cocoa and sweetener: In a separate bowl, sift the unsweetened cocoa powder to remove lumps. Add the cocoa powder, low-carb sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the whipped cream.
- Fold in the ingredients: Gently fold the cocoa mixture into the whipped cream until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much.
- Taste and adjust sweetness: Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more sweetener.
- Chill: Transfer the mousse to serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, you can garnish with dark chocolate shavings or grated dark chocolate if desired.
Enjoy your low-carb chocolate mousse! Keep in mind that the sweetness level can be adjusted to your liking, and you can experiment with different low-carb sweeteners to find the one that suits your taste preferences.
