Keto chocolate mousse

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
• 2 oz unsweetened dark chocolate (at least 85% cocoa, or use sugar-free chocolate)
• 2 tbsp powdered erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• **Pinch of salt
• Optional: Shaved chocolate, berries, or whipped cream for garnish

Instructions:

1. Melt the Chocolate:
   • Chop the unsweetened dark chocolate into small pieces. In a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate. You can melt it in the microwave in 20-second bursts or use a double boiler on the stove. Stir occasionally to ensure it melts evenly. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly.
2. Whip the Cream:
   • In a mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream (or coconut cream). Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. You can also do this by hand, but it will take a little longer. Be careful not to overbeat it into butter.
3. Sweeten:
   • Add the powdered erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener) and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
4. Combine the Chocolate and Cream:
   • Once the chocolate has cooled slightly, gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream. Use a spatula to mix until the chocolate is fully incorporated, and the mousse becomes smooth and creamy.
5. Chill:
   • Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or glasses. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour to allow the mousse to firm up and set.
6. Serve:
   • Garnish with optional toppings like shaved chocolate, berries, or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Enjoy your creamy, decadent Keto chocolate mousse! It’s the perfect low-carb dessert to satisfy your chocolate cravings.
