Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream (cold)
- 4 oz (113g) sugar-free chocolate (chopped)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
(Optional: Powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener for extra sweetness, if desired.)
Instructions
Melt the Chocolate
- Use a microwave or double boiler to melt the sugar-free chocolate until smooth. Let it cool slightly but remain liquid.
Whip the Cream
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and continue whipping until stiff peaks appear.
Combine & Blend
- Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream. Mix until fully combined and smooth. Avoid overmixing to keep the mousse light and airy.
Chill & Serve
- Transfer to serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. Serve as-is or top with whipped cream, cocoa powder, or shaved chocolate for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for a longer shelf life.
- Dairy-Free Option: Swap heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
- Sweetness Level: If your chocolate isn’t sweet enough, add powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener to taste.
- Texture Tip: For an ultra-smooth mousse, use a blender or food processor instead of manually folding.
