Low Carb 3-Ingredient Chocolate Ganache Mousse
If you’re looking for Keto Labor Day recipes or recipes for another holiday that calls for shareable dishes, keep this dessert recipe in your back pocket! Only three ingredients are needed: 100% dark chocolate, heavy whipping cream, and a little powdered erythritol. Choose real dark chocolate, not bitter or bitter-sweet, which still includes added sugar. The great thing is there are easy ways to make dessert sweeter on the Keto diet. Add liquid stevia to your arsenal for a zero-carb way to add as much sweetness as you want to your mousse. Keep your finished mousse cold in your refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can enjoy the recipe as your own special treat or you can bring larger batches to family gatherings and other events.
How to Make It
Step 1
Find a heat-safe bowl and small pot that fit together to make a double-boiler. Fill a pot with 1-inch of water and bring it to a simmer on a stove. Break unsweetened, 100%-dark chocolate into the bowl and fill it with the first amount of heavy cream. Place the bowl over the water and stir the chocolate with a spatula as it melts. Adjust the heat to avoid creating steam and excess moisture, and continually stir until the chocolate and cream blend together into a smooth and creamy ganache.
Step 2
Set the ganache aside to cool in the bowl. The ganache needs to cool down to a point where the bottom of the bowl is no longer too hot to touch but the consistency is still soft and smooth. While the ganache is cooling, make the whipped cream by whipping the second amount of heavy cream in a stand mixer at a high speed. Add Swerve or equal alternative to the whipping cream until a stiff whipped cream is formed.
Step 3
Blend the warm ganache into the whipped cream until the mousse comes together. It will have a pudding-like consistency. Transfer the mousse into serving containers or keep the mousse all together in a container in your refrigerator. Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours to set. If you chilled the mousse as a whole, you can spoon or pipe the mousse into individual containers or glasses for serving.
