How to Make It
Step
Recipe Steps steps 5 1 h 18 min
Step 1
Add the erythritol, cream cheese, and peppermint extract to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. You may add more or less peppermint as desired to suit your personal tastes.
Step 2
Add the heavy cream to a mixing bowl. Whisk the cream vigorously until thick and fluffy. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with whisk attachment to whip the cream if preferred.
Step 3
Carefully fold the peppermint cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream until smooth and well combined. You can taste and add more mint if desired.
Step 4
Take 1/3 of the mousse mixture and set to one side. Add two generous tablespoons of cocoa powder to the remaining 2/3 of the mousse mixture. Gently fold the cocoa powder into the mousse mixture until well combined.
Step 5
Take half of the chocolate peppermint mousse and divide between two serving glasses or ramekins, creating your first layer. Divide the plain peppermint mousse mixture between the two glasses, creating a layer over the chocolate mousse base. Top with the remaining chocolate mixture, creating three decadent layers. Transfer to the refrigerator for an hour to chill or until ready to serve.
