Tips for making the best chocolate mousse.

It is essential that your heavy whipping cream comes just out of your refrigerator before adding it to this recipe. This will help insure that it will be able to whip into stiff peaks

More helpful tips for you.

1. Refrigerating your mixing bowl along with the whisk attachments can also help make stiff peaks. Do this about 20 minutes before making this recipe.
2. The unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered sugar alternative is placed into a bowl together and whisked to break up any lumps. You can alternatively sift these ingredients together.
3. Like with regular powdered sugar, the sugar free version contains cornstarch. The cornstarch helps to stabilize your mousse while helping it avoid getting 'watery'.
4. Plain unsweetened gelatin can also help mousse keep its structure.
5. Resist the urge to over-whip your mousse. Doing so can make your mousse grainy or cause the cream to separate.
6. Also resist the urge to under-whip your mousse as this can result in basically some kind of chocolate soup.

1. Prepare. Make sure that your mixing bowl and beaters as well as your heavy whipping cream are cold. This is an important step to the success of this recipe.
2. Dry Ingredients. Place your sugar free powdered sugar along with the unsweetened cocoa powder in a bowl and use a whisk to mix the ingredients together while breaking up any lumps.
3. Whipping Cream In your chilled mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip your heavy cream until soft peaks begin to form. (When you lift your beaters from the bowl a peak will form and then flop over instead of standing up.)
4. Combine. Set your mixer speed to medium and use a tablespoon to gradually add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the mixing bowl. Then add in your vanilla extract.
5. Whip. Continue to whip your ingredients until stiff peaks form. (The peaks will stand up straight on their own.)
6. Transfer. You can use a piping bag or a spoon to transfer the whipped mousse to bowls or dessert cups for serving.
7. Serve. Serve your mousse immediately or cover and refrigerate the mousse before serving.

Expert Tip 👉 Feel free to add additional powdered sugar if your mousse tastes bitter. You can also make take this up a notch by adding in a bit of liqueur.
