Keto Sugar Free Chocolate Mousse
This delicious tasting low carbohydrate and Keto Sugar Free Chocolate Mousse is the perfect dessert for your low carb friendly meal!
Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 4 Egg Yolks
- 3 tbsp Splenda - please use a granular sugar alternative that measures 1:1 with sugar for best results.
- 2 ½ cups Heavy Whipping Cream -divided, see post for alternatives
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Sugar Free Chocolate Chips -please see post for details
Instructions
- Place a mixing bowl in the refrigerator to chill while you work. In another mixing bowl beat the egg yolks on high until they thicken. This should take about 2 ½ to three minutes. Then beat in your sugar alternative.
- In a saucepan on low-medium heat, heat half of the whipping cream (about 1 ¼ cup) until hot.
- For the next step we are going to add half of the heated whipping cream to the egg mixture. We will gently stir the mixture and then transfer it back to the saucepan with the remaining heated whipped cream. You can use a spatula and or whisk to help you in this step. Once the mixture has been transferred to the saucepan, bump the heat down to low and stir or whisk constantly avoiding bubbling or sticking to the pan.
- Next, stir in vanilla and chocolate chips and turn off the heat. Allow it to cool for a few minutes and then transfer it to a mixing bowl . Cover the mixing bowl and refrigerate for an hour and a half, stirring every thirty minutes.
- Remove the refrigerated mixing bowls (both) from the refrigerator. In the first bowl (the empty one from the first step) beat the remaining whipping cream on high for about three- five minutes to allow it to stiffen up. Then transfer the the whipped cream to the second bowl, using a spatula to fold it in. Refrigerate the mouse until serving. You can top it off with couple of berries on top or a bit of whipped cream.
Recipe Notes
As mentioned, this recipe calls for sugar free chocolate chips.
I like to use sugar free semisweet chocolate chips because they are so easy to work with in a recipe such as this one. However, for a more rich or chocolate taste, you could use sugar free bittersweet chocolate chips in this recipe. I also mentioned that this recipe would taste great with a couple of berries on top or a bit of whipped cream.
Making your own whipped cream without adding sugar to it is possible to do.
