Low Carb Chocolate Mousse
Low carb • Sugar-free chocolate mousse — 10 minutes, four bowls
This is low-carb chocolate mousse, not boxed pudding. Whipped cream, cocoa, allulose, and a little cream cheese set into a dark bowl with chocolate shavings and a clean spoon scoop, like the photo. Ten minutes. No sugar, no cornstarch.
Four servings. Chill 10 minutes if you want a firmer scoop.
Chill: 10
Bowls: 4
Why you’ll love this mousse
- 4g protein per bowl — cream and cream cheese
- 4g net carbs — allulose and cocoa, not sugar
- About 10 minutes, four ramekins
- Dark bowl, shaved chocolate, spoon scoop, like the photo

Health notes
- Protein: Modest. This is a dessert bowl, not a shake.
- Lower carb than restaurant mousse: No sugar. Close to keto at 4g net.
- Four bowls: Macros are per ramekin, not the whole batch.
- Sugar chocolate or boxed mix will jump the carbs. Stay unsweetened.
Key element — whip cream, then fold cocoa
A dense pudding skipped the whip. Beat cream to soft peaks, blend cocoa into cream cheese, fold, then shave chocolate on top so the bowl looks like the photo.

Ingredients
Instructions

- Finish. Shave chocolate over the top. Chill 10 minutes. Spoon, like the photo. One bowl is one serving.
Notes & Tips
- Soft cream cheese blends without lumps.
- Sift the cocoa if it clumps.
- Fold, do not beat, after the cream goes in.
- Use a vegetable peeler for the shavings on top.
- Allulose stays smooth. Straight erythritol can feel gritty.
Variations & serving ideas
- Mascarpone: Same 3 oz for a richer bowl.
- Monk fruit blend: Use a 1:1 allulose mix.
- Sugar pudding mix or milk chocolate: Skip them. That is how carbs jump.
- Espresso: Add 1/2 tsp instant espresso with the cocoa.
- Orange: Add 1/4 tsp orange zest to the base.
- Mint: Add 1/8 tsp peppermint extract.
- One bowl: Keep it in one dish and scoop four servings from the photo bowl.

Frequently asked questions
Is this mousse keto-friendly?
Yes. About 4g net per bowl with cocoa and allulose.
Why is it flat?
The cream was not whipped, or you beat after folding. Whip first, then fold.
Can I use boxed pudding mix?
Most mixes add sugar and starch. Stay homemade so each bowl stays at about 4g net.
Why shave chocolate on top?
The shavings match the photo and add a little crunch without much extra carb.
Do I have to cook it?
No. This is a no-cook whip. Ten minutes of mixing is the whole method.
How do I store leftovers?
Covered in the fridge up to 3 days. Do not freeze.
