Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups heavy cream or 1 can full-fat coconut milk
-
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1 Tbsp Dutch cocoa (or extra regular cocoa powder)
-
¼ cup sweetener of choice (monk fruit blend suggested)
-
Optional: ½ tsp vanilla extract
-
Optional: ¼ tsp instant coffee (enhances chocolate flavor)
Instructions
-
Chill First
Place your cream/coconut milk and a large mixing bowl in the fridge to chill.
If using coconut milk, scoop only the thick cream at the top and leave the liquid behind. -
Whip the Base
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream or coconut cream until stiff peaks form. -
Add Flavor
Add the cocoa powders, sweetener, and any optional ingredients. -
Whip Again
Beat until smooth and creamy with a mousse-like texture. -
Serve Immediately or Chill
Enjoy right away or refrigerate for an even thicker mousse.
Notes
-
Cold ingredients whip best, so don’t skip chilling.
-
Dutch cocoa gives a deeper, richer chocolate flavor.
-
If using coconut milk, choose full-fat for the thickest texture.
-
Add a pinch of salt to balance sweetness and make the chocolate pop.
-
For extra decadence: top with sugar-free chocolate shavings or berries.
