Keto Chocolate Mousse (Dairy-Free)

My keto chocolate mousse recipe is delicious, full of healthy fats, and is sweetened with monk fruit, a zero-calorie sweetener with a glycemic index of zero.

Following a keto diet has helped me tremendously in many ways. One thing in particular, is my sweet tooth has almost completely diminished!

When I started eating keto I thought that I’d need to treat myself to a lot of keto-friendly desserts to keep my sweet tooth satisfied. Fortunate for me, that was not the case! I only recently started added a keto-friendly dessert to my menu for fun for my kids. They love treats and I love to create healthier versions of their favorite foods.

Now let’s get to the recipe! This keto chocolate mousse dessert is smooth, creamy and luxurious. I tastes like chocolate heaven.

Best of all, it doesn’t have any sugar in it. I used monk fruit to sweeten this treat. Monk fruit is similar to stevia with a glycemic index of zero. But unlike stevia, it doesn’t leave a bitter aftertaste. I’ve also used swerve and erythritol successfully. Enjoy!

How to make keto chocolate mousse

Start by gathering your ingredients. You’ll need:

• 2 – 5.4 ounce cans coconut cream, cold 
• 1/4 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener or swerve
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• Pinch of sea salt
• Optional: 1/4 teaspoon organic instant coffee

Once you have the ingredients, the recipe is super easy and straightforward:

1. Before you get started make sure your coconut cream is very cold. I refrigerate mine overnight.
2. Use a mixer to whip the coconut cream. Note: coconut cream won’t double in volume the way heavy cream does. 
3. Add monk fruit or favorite sweetener, cocoa powder, sea salt, and instant coffee (if using).
4. Mix well and scoop into a serving dish.
5. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
6.  Top with coconut whipped cream before serving.
