Low Carb 3-Ingredient Chocolate Ganache Mousse

If you’re looking for Keto Labor Day recipes or recipes for another holiday that calls for shareable dishes, keep this dessert recipe in your back pocket! Only three ingredients are needed: 100% dark chocolate, heavy whipping cream, and a little powdered erythritol. Choose real dark chocolate, not bitter or bitter-sweet, which still includes added sugar. The great thing is there are easy ways to make dessert sweeter on the Keto diet. Add liquid stevia to your arsenal for a zero-carb way to add as much sweetness as you want to your mousse. Keep your finished mousse cold in your refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can enjoy the recipe as your own special treat or you can bring larger batches to family gatherings and other events.

Another Way To Make The Ganache

Another way to make the chocolate ganache in Step 1 is to chop and add all the chocolate to a heat-safe bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small pot until the cream starts bubbling. Just before the cream reaches simmering, remove it from the stove and pour it over the bowl of chopped chocolate. Cover the bowl immediately with a piece of aluminum foil and leave it undisturbed for 5 minutes. Then, stir the warm ingredients together until they combine in the ganache.

How To Make A Thicker Mousse

If you want your mousse to appear more air-whipped and thicker, there are a couple of things you can do. Add a small amount of gelatin to your mousse in Step 3 before you spoon or pipe it into serving containers. When the mousse chills, it will have more wiggle and jiggle to it. Another way to make a denser mousse is to include an unsweetened pudding mix that also doesn’t include non-Keto sugar substitutes.

Recipe Steps

steps 3

4 h 15 min

  • Step 1

    Find a heat-safe bowl and small pot that fit together to make a double-boiler. Fill a pot with 1-inch of water and bring it to a simmer on a stove. Break unsweetened, 100%-dark chocolate into the bowl and fill it with the first amount of heavy cream. Place the bowl over the water and stir the chocolate with a spatula as it melts. Adjust the heat to avoid creating steam and excess moisture, and continually stir until the chocolate and cream blend together into a smooth and creamy ganache.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Set the ganache aside to cool in the bowl. The ganache needs to cool down to a point where the bottom of the bowl is no longer too hot to touch but the consistency is still soft and smooth. While the ganache is cooling, make the whipped cream by whipping the second amount of heavy cream in a stand mixer at a high speed. Add Swerve or equal alternative to the whipping cream until a stiff whipped cream is formed.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Blend the warm ganache into the whipped cream until the mousse comes together. It will have a pudding-like consistency. Transfer the mousse into serving containers or keep the mousse all together in a container in your refrigerator. Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours to set. If you chilled the mousse as a whole, you can spoon or pipe the mousse into individual containers or glasses for serving.

        My husband’s comments, ‘light, fluffy and rich’. I will be making this again and add a small amount of coffee & vanilla and one more teaspoon of swerve. Happy, happy and yummy. ☺️
