HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE (EASY)
- Finely chop your unsweetened chocolate. I’ve used both Baker’s and Ghirardelli with good results.
- Bring cream and butter to a boil in a small saucepan.
- While the cream is heating, place chopped chocolate, cocoa powder, salt, and powdered sugar in a blender. Pulse till the mixture is powdered.
- Pour the hot cream mixture into the blender and blend till mixture is smooth, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula occasionally.
- Add the room temperature eggs and vanilla. Blend again till smooth.
- Pour mixture evenly into four serving dishes. I love serving mine in these mini mason jars. The lids make it so convenient to store them in the refrigerator.
- Chill for an hour or two or until set. Serve as is, or garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings or berries.
PRO TIPS:
- Because the eggs are not cooked, I recommend using very fresh eggs. Or even pasteurized eggs if you are really worried about raw egg consumption.
- The eggs MUST be at room temperature before you start making your mousse. If they are too cold, they can cause the melted chocolate to seize up.
- To get eggs to room temperature very quickly, place them in a bowl of warm water, and change the water out every minute or two until the eggs are warm.
Why is my chocolate mousse so dense?
This recipe is designed to be dense and ultra rich. Whipping the cream for mousse makes it a lighter texture. If you are looking for a fluffier version, try my other easy chocolate mousse recipe.
Can I make this chocolate mousse keto friendly?
Yes, you can. All you have to do is replace the powdered sugar with powdered Swerve. It tastes just as good, and comes in at only 5 net carbs!
Since starting the keto diet, I am always on the lookout for chocolate desserts that don’t leave me feeling deprived. This dark chocolate mousse is one of those recipes!
In fact, in a blind taste test, most of my family members (including myself) preferred the low carb version. I know, I couldn’t believe it either. Trust me, it really is heavenly!
Can I make this chocolate mousse lower in fat?
Absolutely. Just replace the heavy cream with light cream (half & half), or even use regular milk. Honestly, I think even non dairy milk would work for this dark chocolate mousse.

I haven’t tried it, but it might work. They would not set up quite as thick. You would also have to replace the butter with coconut oil or margarine to help the mousse set up.
