Cooking tip: We love the idea of customizing this recipe to make it your own! If you add any ingredients, just be sure to keep an eye on net carbs.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon sucralose based sweetener (sugar substitute)
- 1 dash salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Directions:
- In a small bowl combine the cocoa powder, granular sugar substitute, and salt. Mix to combine then add the vanilla. Measure out the cream and add 2 teaspoons to the cocoa powder, mixing to create a smooth paste. Add cream 2 teaspoons at a time until the mixture is smooth and not chunky. The final amount will depend on the cocoa powder used.
- In a medium bowl, whip the remaining cream by hand or with a hand mixer until medium peaks form. Add the vanilla chocolate mixture and whip until combined.
- Yields about 1 cup. Each serving is about 1/4 cup. Serve immediately in a chilled dessert bowl.
Variations:
- Add another 1-2 teaspoons sucralose for a sweeter mousse.
- Add 1 tablespoon peanut flour/powder (adding negligable net carbs) when you add in the chocolate for peanut butter chocolate mousse.
- Swirl in sugar free chocolate chips or cacao nibs for a richer chocolate flavor and crunchy texture.
- Garnish with a touch of whipped cream and no sugar chocolate bar shavings if desired.
