Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream or 1 can full-fat coconut milk (chilled)
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp Dutch-process cocoa powder (or extra regular cocoa powder)
- ¼ cup sweetener of choice (monk fruit, erythritol, or allulose)
Optional Ingredients
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp instant coffee (for enhanced chocolate flavor)
Instructions
- Chill the ingredients: If using coconut milk, refrigerate the can overnight and scoop out only the thick cream portion. Also chill the mixing bowl beforehand for best whipping results.
- Whip the cream: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the heavy cream or coconut milk until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light and airy mousse base.
- Add the remaining ingredients: Gently mix in the unsweetened and Dutch-process cocoa powders, your preferred sweetener, vanilla extract, and instant coffee (if using) until the mixture is fully combined and fluffy.
- Serve and enjoy: Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and enjoy immediately for a soft texture, or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes if you prefer a firmer consistency.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use full-fat coconut milk chilled overnight.
- Adjust the sweetener amount to taste, especially if using a blend.
- Instant coffee is optional but enhances the depth of chocolate flavor.
- Chilling the bowl and ingredients helps achieve better whipped peaks.
- This recipe serves one but can be easily multiplied.
