  • No baking or complicated steps — ready in minutes
  • Naturally gluten-free and grain-free

Ingredients (makes 2 generous servings)

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

Optional toppings:

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

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, cocoa powder, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt with an electric mixer until completely smooth and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  2. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form (2–3 minutes).
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until no streaks remain and the mousse is light and airy.
  4. Spoon the thick mousse into tall glasses or serving cups.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours (or up to overnight) for the best texture and flavor.
  6. Just before serving, add a straw (optional) and top with whipped cream or chocolate shavings if desired.

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.
