Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Silky, airy texture with deep chocolate flavor
  • Only 3–4g net carbs per serving
  • No baking required — ready in 15 minutes + chill time
  • Make-ahead friendly and beautiful for guests
  • Naturally gluten-free and grain-free

Ingredients (makes 4–6 servings)

  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓–½ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)

For topping (optional but recommended):

  • Sugar-free chocolate shavings or cocoa powder
  • A few sugar-free chocolate chips or fresh berries

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sweetener with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  2. Add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix on low until fully combined, then increase speed and beat until creamy.
  3. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form (about 2–3 minutes).
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
  5. Spoon or pipe the mousse into serving bowls or glasses.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to develop and the mousse to firm up.
  7. Just before serving, top generously with sugar-free chocolate shavings.

Storage Tips

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The mousse will firm up more as it chills but stays perfectly creamy. Not recommended for freezing.
