Cooking tips

For the best results, be sure to follow the exact process written below. Our brownie pie crust is baked until gooey, but you can bake it for a few minutes longer to get a firmer crust. If you use gelatin sheets, soak them before adding to the heavy cream. Ensure your ingredients are at the right temperature to get the perfect mousse. You need to let the melted chocolate cool slightly to prevent it from cooking the yolks. The same goes for the gelatin mixture – you must allow it to cool for a few minutes before adding it to the chocolate egg mixture. The remaining heavy cream must be cold when whipped. A pro tip is to chill your bowl before beating it to maintain the temperature. Also, never whip your heavy cream at high speeds. Finally, make sure to gently fold in the heavy cream without overmixing it. This way, you will get a light, airy mousse that perfectly accompanies your gooey brownie crust.

Serving suggestions

You can top each piece with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or drizzle with your favorite low-carb chocolate sauce.

    Absolutely looking great and it had me go through it all . Keto is a big adjustment for the Carb intake. One of your suggested pieces ( portion) is more than half my daily carb consumption per "Carb Manager" 🤔 not really cool !!!

      How can 10 grams of carbs a serving be “low carb” or keto? 🤔

        In your cooking tips and preperation you seem to be talking about raw egg yolks, but in the ingredients list it states fried eggs, yolks only 4. I think you put in the wrong ingredient. Otherwise why be worried about the temperature of the melted chocolate? Looks like a great recipe though. Defenately gonna try it out.

          Be careful at 10 g of carb per serving. I’m not too sure this is keto or low-carb at all.
