Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free option)
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (dark chocolate or semi-sweet)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions:
1. Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the sugar-free chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.
2. Whip the Cream:
- In a separate mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, as you want it to be light and fluffy.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until well combined. Take care to maintain the lightness of the whipped cream.
- Sift the unsweetened cocoa powder over the mixture and fold it in gently until fully incorporated and smooth.
4. Chill:
- Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or glasses. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set and chill.
5. Serve:
- Serve the mousse chilled. You can garnish it with extra whipped cream, shaved sugar-free chocolate, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder if desired.
