Chocolate mousse used to be one of my ultimate guilty pleasures. You know the kind... silky, rich, over-the-top decadent, and usually only found on the dessert menu at some fancy little spot where you have to pretend you’re only eating one spoonful. But let’s be real - I wanted to eat the whole bowl and maybe lick it clean (don’t judge me, we’re friends here!)

Well, good news, friend: that mousse-y dream is now totally do-able at home and low-carb. Yup, this Whipped Chocolate Mousse is rich, creamy, packed with deep cocoa flavor, and has absolutely no added sugar. It’s like magic in a bowl, but with none of the “ugh why did I eat that” after-feels.

This recipe comes together in 10 minutes flat and chills while you pretend you’ve got self-control (lol!) It’s light, it’s airy, and it tastes like dessert heaven. Best part? You only need three simple ingredients and an electric mixer. That’s it. No eggs, no cooking, no complicated steps - just whip, chill, and bliss out.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• ¼ cup sugar-free powdered sweetener (like Swerve or Lakanto)
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

You’ll Need:

• Measuring cups
• Medium bowl
• Electric mixer (or a really strong arm and lots of patience)

Directions:

In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream and sugar-free powdered sweetener until they’re well combined and fluffy.

Add in the cocoa powder and crank that mixer up to high. Keep going until stiff peaks form (aka, mousse-level magic).

Pop it in the fridge for an hour so it sets up and gets that perfect chilled mousse texture.

Try not to eat it all in one sitting… or do. I won’t tell.

Tips & Twists:

• Want to fancy it up? Top with a little shaved dark chocolate or a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream.
• Feeling minty? Add a drop of peppermint extract for a Thin Mint vibe!
• Need more servings? Double it up and stash extras in little ramekins for easy grab-and-go indulgence.
• Texture tip: Sift your cocoa powder first to avoid lumps and get that ultra-smooth mousse experience!

Storage:

Store any leftovers (if you have that kind of willpower) in the fridge in an airtight container. It’ll keep for about 3–4 days, though mine never lasts that long!

Whether you’re low-carb, keto-curious, or just trying to sneak in a little dessert without the sugar crash, this mousse is gonna be your new BFF. It’s rich enough to satisfy the deepest chocolate craving, but light enough to feel like a treat you can actually enjoy without side-eyeing your pantry later.
