Keto Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
• 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional toppings: whipped cream, shaved chocolate, berries

Instructions:

1. Melt the chocolate: Place the chopped unsweetened chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove.
2. Sweeten the chocolate: Stir in the powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener into the melted chocolate until well combined. Adjust the sweetness to taste.
3. Whip the cream: In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
4. Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much.
5. Chill: Transfer the Keto Chocolate Mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or until set.
6. Serve: Once chilled and set, garnish the mousse with toppings of your choice, such as a dollop of whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or fresh berries.
7. Enjoy! This Keto Chocolate Mousse is rich, creamy, and indulgent, making it the perfect low-carb dessert for satisfying your sweet cravings.

Feel free to adjust the sweetness and intensity of chocolate to suit your taste preferences. You can also experiment with different flavorings, such as peppermint extract or almond extract, for variations on this delicious dessert.
