Easy Keto Chocolate Mousse
Easy 3-5 ingredient 5-minute keto chocolate mousse is a quick and simple way to satisfy those dessert cravings. It's so light and fluffy, no one will know it's keto, low carb, gluten-free, vegetarian and sugar-free.
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder Dutch-process preferred
- 1-2 tablespoon Swerve erthyritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- ¼ cup cream cheese softened (optional)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Beat with a handheld electric mixer or stand mixer for about 3 minutes until stiff peaks form.
- Best served immediately. It will not keep in the fridge longer than 2 hours and will begin to soften and deflate.
- Great served with fruit, chocolate chips, or whipped cream. Serves 4 as dessert. Enjoy!

Notes
Be sure to use heavy whipping cream, something like half n half won't beat to the proper consistency
If you only have stevia on hand to sweeten the keto mousse, it cannot be used in a 1:1 ratio. Just a ⅛-1/4 teaspoon will be plenty of sweeteners. Start with ⅛ teaspoon and add more if desired.
Add mix-ins like chocolate chips by hand after whipping the keto chocolate mousse together.
Make just what you can eat since it doesn't hold its shape or keep well.
We recommend Dutch-process cocoa in this recipe since it is less bitter than unprocessed cocoa powder.
