Notes
-
Quality Matters: Opt for high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa. It ensures a richer flavor and better texture.
-
Whipping Cream: Ensure your heavy cream is cold before whipping. It helps achieve those perfect stiff peaks.
-
Gentle Folding: When combining the chocolate with the whipped cream, fold gently to maintain the mousse's airy texture.
-
Chill Well: For the best consistency, allow the mousse to chill for the full 2 hours, or even overnight.
-
Serving Suggestions: Garnish with a few berries or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for added flair.
-
Storage: If you're not serving immediately, cover with cling film to prevent a skin from forming on the mousse.
-
Keto Sweeteners: Erythritol is a popular choice, but other keto-friendly sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit can also be used. Adjust to taste.
