Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream OR 1 can full-fat coconut milk (use only the thick cream part)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp Dutch or additional regular cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup sweetener of choice (e.g., monk fruit blend)
- Optional: 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/4 tsp instant coffee
Instructions
- Chill ingredients and equipment. Place the liquid cream or coconut cream and a large mixing bowl in the refrigerator or freezer until very cold, which helps achieve a better whip.
- Whip the cream. Using a stand mixer or hand beaters, whip the chilled cream or coconut cream until stiff peaks form, indicating the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add remaining ingredients. Gently fold in the unsweetened cocoa powder, Dutch cocoa powder, sweetener, and optional vanilla extract and instant coffee into the whipped cream.
- Whip to mousse texture. Continue whipping the mixture until it reaches a smooth, mousse-like texture, ensuring the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Chill before serving (optional). For best results, refrigerate the mousse for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow it to set and flavors to meld.
Notes
- If using coconut milk, make sure to use only the thick, creamy part and discard the liquid for the best texture.
- Instant coffee enhances the chocolate flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
- Choose a sweetener that fits your dietary needs; monk fruit blend is keto-friendly and adds sweetness without carbs.
- The mousse tastes best when served chilled but can be eaten immediately after preparation if desired.
- Store leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
