Zero-carb chocolate mousse

Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for a zero-carb chocolate mousse:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (check that it’s carb-free)
• 1-2 tablespoons zero-carb sweetener (like stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions:

1. Chill the bowl and beaters: Place your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for about 10 minutes to help the cream whip better.

2. Whip the cream: Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

3. Mix the cocoa powder: In a small bowl, whisk the unsweetened cocoa powder, zero-carb sweetener, and pinch of salt together to break up any cocoa lumps.

4. Add flavor: Add the vanilla extract to the whipped cream and gently mix in the cocoa powder mixture, blending until smooth and well combined.

5. Serve: Spoon the mousse into individual serving bowls or cups and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for the best texture and flavor.

6. Optional toppings: If you’d like, you can top with a few sugar-free chocolate shavings, whipped cream, or berries for extra flavor, but keep in mind these may add a small amount of carbs.

Enjoy your smooth, creamy, zero-carb chocolate mousse!
