Keto Chocolate Orange Mousse
How to Make It
Step 1
Add the mascarpone to a food processor along with the powdered erythritol, cocoa powder, and orange extract. Blend until smooth and well combined. The mixture will be a little firm to begin with but continue to blend until soft and mousse-like. Do not over blend or the mixture may split. Please feel free to add more or less orange to taste.
Step 2
Add the heavy cream to a large mixing bowl. Whisk the cream vigorously for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. The cream should be whipped well so that it is soft and airy. Alternatively, you may whip the cream in the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attachment.
Step 3
Carefully spoon the chocolate orange mascarpone mixture into the bowl with the whipped cream. Gently fold the whipped cream and mascarpone mixture together until completely blended and smooth. The mousse should be light and airy.
Step 4
Divide the chocolate mousse evenly between four individual bowls or large ramekins. Transfer the bowls/ramekins to the fridge to chill until ready to serve. Serve cold, optionally topped with low carb berries or shavings of dark chocolate.
