Chocolate Mousse is an easy, go to low carb dessert, so it’s a fun experiment to play around with keto friendly ingredients and come up with different chocolatey concoctions.

This Mascarpone Chocolate Mousse is one of the delicious results of extensive experimentation. (Somebody’s got to do it. You’re welcome!)

Chopped keto chocolate

I use 85% or 90% Dark Chocolate and no additional sugar. Feel free to add your sweetener of choice to taste, at the chocolate melting stage.

Use whichever cream you can whip to create thick whipped cream peaks. I use thickened cream as that’s what I get at my local supermarket, feel free to use double cream, whipping cream or another cream which can easily be whipped.

I love incorporating Mascarpone cheese into keto recipes (I even have a blog post with 10 low carb mascarpone recipes) and the creamy ingredient just works so well in this decadent chocolate mousse.
