INGREDIENT NOTES

ALMOND BUTTER

• We will require smooth, unsweetened almond butter, which adds healthy fats and nutty richness to our mousse. For a flavor variation, you may use macadamia nut butter or peanut butter.

HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM

• Use the chilled whipping cream as a creamy base for the mousse. Full-fat works best for keto. Go for coconut cream to make it non-dairy.

VANILLA ESSENCE

• It provides the classic aroma to the desserts and enhances the flavor. Always use the pure essence of vanilla for the best results. For a change, you may replace the vanilla essence with the almond essence.

COCOA POWDER

• We will require the unsweetened version of cocoa powder to give the deep chocolate flavor while limiting the carb content. You may replace the cocoa powder with 90% of melted dark chocolate.

SEA SALT

• The addition of salt balances all the flavors to give you the best combo of all flavors.

KETO SWEETENER

• Using keto sweetener in powdered form will dissolve best and sweeten the mousse without increasing the carb content.

TIPS

• Stop beating immediately as all items are combined. Overbeating will result in a decrease in the volume.
• Chill the cream so that it beats quickly and maintains peaks better.
• Mix some melted dark chocolate for a rich chocolate flavor.

VARIATIONS

You can have different flavor variations by just making a few changes:

• Swap the almond butter with peanut butter to enjoy the choco-peanut flavor.
• To go nut-free, omit the almond butter or replace it with the butter of sunflower seeds.
• Use a teaspoon of instant coffee powder to have the mocha flavor.
• To have a protein-rich mousse, use a small amount of protein powder in chocolate or vanilla flavor

HOW TO STORE THE LEFTOVERS

CHILLING

FAQs

Can I prepare it earlier?

• Chilling for a few hours is the requirement of the perfect mousse, so this is an advantage for you. You can prepare it earlier and just quickly serve without any mess.

Does granulated sweetener work?

• We will advise you to choose the powdered sweetener for the smooth texture. You can also make the powder of granulated sugar to use.
