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 follow a mostly plant based keto diet) 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 on my menu for fun for my kids. They love treats and I love to create healthier versions of their favorite foods.
Now lets get to the recipe! This dessert is smooth, creamy and luxurious. I tastes like chocolate heaven. Best of all, it doesn’t have any sugar in it. I used 100% organic 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. Enjoy!

January 21, 2019 at 10:53 amI cannot get my coconut cream to whip. Yes it is the 5.4 oz (just cream). What am I doing wrong?
I tried a hand mixer..full speed and my kitchenaid stand mixer, full speed.

November 4, 2018 at 9:32 pmCocoa is sooo processed ,so sweetened why would you..
Use raw Cacao powder .
Sweetener; any sweetener , there are many good ones , your looking for flavour that’s th whole point . Use Coconut Nectar th best..try Date syrup , Agave low glycemic but you’re only using a little so that’s not really th issue…
Needs Vanilla ,and a couple of drops of Orange Oil is next level.
Cheers.👍

November 5, 2018 at 8:19 amCocoa is not sweetened. Please visit the link to the cocoa powder. It’s organic unsweetened powder. Also, agave and coconut nectar are not keto friendly sweeteners.

November 4, 2018 at 4:41 amI checked your link for the monk fruit sweetener via amazon – 26% of the reviews said that particular brand had changed its manufacturing process and it now smells and tastes terrible – most recent review I saw was March 2018 -and it’s non refundable – I’m not willing to take a chance with a product that is expensive. Have you tried a different brand?
