“Only 5.8g carbs per serving for a lovely keto chocolate mousse dessert! I used (as opposed to 85% Lindt® chocolate to make this airy, creamy mousse. Very dark chocolate can be quite bitter, but its the best option when baking. I added a little powdered erythritol for additional sweetness. NOTE: If you choose to use completely unsweetened chocolate (as opposed to 85% – which is what I recommend), you will need to increase the amount of sweetener.” – Monya

More on Keto Chocolate Mousse…
85% dark chocolate is considered a healthier option among chocolate enthusiasts due to its high cocoa content. While it may not be everyone’s cup of tea because of its intense, bittersweet taste, it offers several health benefits that can make it a worthwhile addition to your diet.

Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants, particularly flavonoids and polyphenols. These compounds help combat free radicals in the body, reducing oxidative stress and lowering the risk of chronic diseases. The flavonoids can improve blood flow, lower blood pressure, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
It also contains various compounds that can stimulate the production of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. It also contains serotonin precursors, potentially contributing to mood enhancement.
Dark chocolate is a source of essential minerals such as iron, magnesium, and copper. Magnesium, in particular, is vital for various bodily functions, including muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and bone health.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Low-carb Chocolate Mousse
Per serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- 100 g (3.5 oz) 85% Lindt dark chocolate
- 15 g (0.5 oz) unsalted butter
- 50 g (1.8 oz) unsweetened almond milk
- 150 g (5.3 oz) double cream
- 2 TB powdered erythritol, confectioners
Instructions
- Break the chocolate into smaller pieces and place into a non-stick pan. Add the butter and the almond milk.
- Keep on a VERY low heat until the chocolate has melted. Whisk well, the mixture should look glossy. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool slightly while you whip the cream. (If the chocolate looks grainy, add a tablespoon of boiling hot water and whisk again – it should look like the picture below)
- In the meantime, place the cream into a clean bowl and whip to fairly stiff peaks. Add the Swerve and whip well to combine.
- Pour the melted (slightly cooled) chocolate into the cream.
- Very gently, fold the mixtures together. Do this by making large, circular motions with your silicon spatula.
- It should look like this:
- Once combined, immediately pour into 4 serving glasses or ramekins. (I used martini glasses because I am a wee-bit pretentious). Place in the fridge to set for at least 3 hours.
- Just before serving, dust over a little Swerve confectioners sugar using a tea strainer. You could also top with a pretty mint leaf or add some raspberries (garnishes not included in the macros).
