Keto Chocolate Mousse Trio

Allergens

Eggs, Dairy

Ingredients

• 8 oz dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 4 large eggs, separated
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup granulated erythritol or preferred keto
• friendly sweetener
• A pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing a double boiler to gently melt the chocolate. Combine the chopped chocolate and 1/2 cup of heavy cream in a heatproof bowl, ensuring that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water in the saucepan. Gently stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the egg yolks with the erythritol until they form a thick and creamy mixture. Gradually whisk in the melted chocolate, followed by the remaining heavy cream and almond milk. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In another large mixing bowl, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they reach stiff peaks. Gently fold half of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it up, then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until well combined.
4. Divide the mousse into three separate bowls and mix each one with different flavorings: 1/2 tsp of peppermint extract for a mint chocolate mousse, 1 tbsp of raspberry puree for a raspberry chocolate mousse, and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon for a cinnamon chocolate mousse.
5. Spoon the flavored mousses into individual serving glasses or dessert plates in layers or swirls to create a visually stunning presentation. Refrigerate the mousse trio for at least 4 hours, or until set.
6. Serve chilled with a dusting of unsweetened cocoa powder or a sprinkle of chopped nuts, if desired.
