We are fans of quick to make dessert recipes in this house and that includes this Low Carb Chocolate Mousse, which is also a part of our Dessert Every Night series! When you’ve had a long day and already eaten your meal prepped dinner, but want dessert, what to do next? You can always make mug cakes, but those get boring after a while. So, with just four ingredients and additions of your choosing you can have something new, creamy, rich and sweet any night of the week! Watch me make it below.
We Love Simple Meal Ideas, Too.
Simple meals are great for big families and singles alike. Although cooking up an elaborate dinner can be nice once in a while or on a special night, for the most part simple and delicious is our preferred route. When it comes to meals you can give our egg roll in a bowl, buffalo chicken skillet and cauliflower fried rice a try, all great for meal prepping too!
Our Favorite, Low Carb Desserts!
Many of our favorite low carb desserts are easy and take under ten minutes to make like our pumpkin mug cake, while we also have some favorites, that are guilt-free, but take a little more work like our protein cakes! The beauty about keto becoming more and more popular each day is that more and more low carb recipes are popping up to make this lifestyle more sustainable. Just remember you can always count on ketoconnect to satisfy all your cravings!

Some days you just need dessert and lucky for you this low carb chocolate mousse can be made in bulk and stored in the fridge all week.

Love it! I make a double batch almost weekly.
I love it taste great and very easy to make.
Can someone help me? I see the Marco’s listed but whats the serving size?
Hi! The recipe makes 4 servings, so you can separate it evenly into 4 containers. If you wanted to be more exact, you could weigh the mousse when you’re finished and divide it that way!
Absolutely delicious, just tried this recipe and I’m having a hard time letting it chill befote i devour it!
Hello what can I use instead of the sweetner just can’t get use to the taste thank you
You can use another keto friendly sweetener. Matt & Megha like erythritol, stevia, and monk fruit.
Could you use lemon juice instead of the cocoa?
You could try it! Let us know how it goes if you do 🙂 You can start with less and work your way up.
There is no point where it tells to add the cocoa. I’m assuming after one sifts it.
What equals a serving in this?
I am not sure the exact amount, but this recipe makes 4 equal servings.
carla would it be a bad idea to use coconut sugar instead?
Coconut sugar is the same as regular sugar. Not keto-friendly.
Love this delightful receipe. Taste great and no guilt here for eating it. 🙂
I’m excited to make these for my family christmas party. I want to make them pretty like your picture 🙂 What did you use to top each glass off with?
Thanks!

You could use cocoa powder or grate some 100% dark chocolate if you want to be fancy:)
I made this and it kind of crumbled when I dished it up. Normal or did I do something wrong?
I am not really sure. I would check that you didn’t use too much cocoa powder. You could have also overwhipped the heavy whipping cream.
What ratio would you use for the stevia drops if you were to use the powdered erythritol?
You can find out with our brand new sweetener conversion chart!
That was really good! We made it to put on our cloud bread-it came out like a cream puff! Yum

Hi, will liquid monk fruit drops work instead of stevia? Same ratio?
Yes, you will need 15 drops.
We just made this!! Haven’t tasted it yet, though.
I don’t have a hand mixer so we shook the cream in a mason jar to get it whipped up. And used a whisk for the rest. It’s definitely a pretty recipe!!
I just made this mousse, didn’t have liquid stevia so i used splenda 8 packets; also used 2 tsp of vanilla extract. It’s a delicious recipe! Thank you so much for sharing! It’s so important to have keto munchies available
This is a game changer!! Thanks guys! Is this one in MFP? I couldn’t seem to find it!
