### Why Keto Chocolate Mousse?
Keto diets emphasize high fats, moderate protein, and very low carbs, which can make finding satisfying desserts a challenge. Traditional chocolate mousse often contains heavy amounts of sugar and high-carb ingredients, but this recipe swaps out those ingredients for keto-approved alternatives, allowing you to enjoy the same creamy texture and rich flavor without derailing your diet.

### The Ingredients
To make this keto chocolate mousse, you’ll need just a few simple, low-carb ingredients that can easily be found at your local grocery store or health food store:
– **Heavy Whipping Cream**: The base of this mousse, providing a rich, velvety texture that gives the mousse its signature creaminess.
– **Cocoa Powder**: Choose unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich, deep chocolate flavor without any added sugar.
– **Erythritol or Monk Fruit Sweetener**: Both are excellent sugar substitutes that are keto-friendly, so you can enjoy the sweetness of traditional chocolate mousse without the carbs.
– **Dark Chocolate (85% Cocoa or Higher)**: High-quality dark chocolate adds another layer of decadence to the mousse and keeps the carb count low.
– **Vanilla Extract**: A small amount of vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor and adds depth to the chocolate.
– **Pinch of Salt**: A small pinch of salt helps to balance out the sweetness and bring out the chocolate’s natural richness.
### Step-by-Step Instructions
#### 1. **Melt the Chocolate**
Start by melting the dark chocolate. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, or using a double boiler on the stove. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate—just a few seconds of gentle melting will do.
#### 2. **Whip the Cream**
In a separate bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on high speed until soft peaks begin to form. This step is crucial for achieving the mousse’s light, airy texture.
#### 3. **Combine the Ingredients**
Once the chocolate is melted and slightly cooled, fold it into the whipped cream gently. Be sure not to deflate the cream too much—this keeps the mousse light and fluffy. Add in the sweetener of your choice, a splash of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is smooth and well-combined.
#### 4. **Chill the Mousse**
Transfer the mousse into serving dishes (such as small ramekins or mason jars) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until it firms up. The mousse will thicken as it chills, creating that perfect, luxurious texture.
#### 5. **Garnish (Optional)**
If desired, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, a few shavings of extra dark chocolate, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder. You could also add some chopped nuts like almonds or hazelnuts for a bit of crunch.
