Update: Check out the video on making Chocolate Mousse on Caveman Keto’s YouTube Channel.

Are you looking for a low carb treat? Sometimes you just need something sweet! Mousse’s are my favorite dessert while on keto and they can be customized with all sorts of different configurations. You can add chips of dark chocolate, mix in strawberries, add scotch, etc. Its also a great way to increase your fat content if you are having issues getting enough fat.

Here is the finished Chocolate Strawberry Mousse!

This recipe starts with heavy whipping cream. I use the cup that came with the immersion blender which conveniently has the markings right on the side.

Next, add the sweetener. I use EZ-Sweet which is liquid sucralose. Any sweetener will work but I prefer liquid for this application as regular splenda has carbs in it. I’ve never found this stuff in a store so I had to buy it from Amazon. I do have liquid stevia which can be found at Whole Foods but I like this stuff better. Be careful though because there is a fine line between the right amount and too much. This stuff is potent so I only use four drops!

The next step is optional, but if your in a frisky mood you can add a chopped strawberry. Try and cut it as small as possible since it needs to blend in.

Throw the strawberry in with the cream.

Now for the chocolate! I use a combination of both chocolate protein powder and unsweetened cocoa. Either could be used by themselves but I like the taste of the combination of both!

Throw the powder in the cream mixture.

For an added bonus, I flake some 90% chocolate into the mixture. Its pretty negligible carbs, I just take a sharp knife and flake some into the container.

Now, put the whisk attachment on your immersion blender and whisk away! A couple of notes, I normally try and integrate the powder into the cream a little bit with the whisk before I start going at it so it doesn’t fly everywhere. Also, make sure you have a solid grip over the container so it won’t go spinning. I often cup my hand over the top for the first little bit until it starts mixing so it doesn’t splatter.

Before too long, the mixture turns solid and it looks like this! I often just eat it out of this container but you can also scrape it out and put it in a bowl.

And that’s it! A quick and easy Mousse for one. You can safely make two at the same time but I wouldn’t push it past that or else it might get messy 🙂
