Keto Double Chocolate Mousse is a low-carb dish that has a flavorful and delicious taste. It tastes rich and velvety, but it fits within the keto diet without keeping you down. This mousse contains two layers of chocolate taste. The base has a strong chocolate flavor that feels fulfilling, while the upper layer is lighter and airier, with only a little bit of sweetness. Both layers blend in a way that is rich but not heavy. We use some ingredients such as cream cheese, keto dark chocolate chips, heavy whipping cream, allulose or erythritol powder, and keto cocoa powder. It’s ideal for nights, family dinners, or when you just want to relax with some chocolate. This Keto Double Chocolate Mousse freezes well for two months, and it takes only twenty minutes to cook comletely.

- 1/4 cup of keto cocoa powder
INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTION:
ALLULOSE OR POWDERED ERYTHRITOL:
- Powdered erythritol or allulose sweetens without increasing carbs. While erythritol has a slightly colder flavor, allulose has a smoother finish. Monk fruit mixes are also useful and don’t alter the texture.
CREAM CHEESE:
- The use of cream cheese helps to keep the mousse stable and thick. It also gives a little acidity to balance the chocolate. Mascarpone is a perfect keto replacement for a softer, more creamy taste.
KETO DARK CHOCOLATE CHIP:
- Unsweetened dark chocolate improves the chocolate flavor and leaves a smooth finish. Select a brand that is at least eighty-five percent cocoa or keto.
HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM:
- The mousse’s smooth and creamy texture is because we use heavy whipping cream. It whips up simply and has the richness you want. If you require an alternative, canned coconut cream is a low-lactose choice, but it will have a little coconut flavor.
COCOA POWDER (UNSWEETENED):
- We use keto cocoa powder to give a rich chocolate flavor without adding sugar. If you want a softer, less harsh flavor, Dutch-processed cocoa is ideal. For a lighter chocolate flavor, combine half cocoa and half protein powder.
