Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups heavy cream OR 1 can full-fat coconut milk (solid cream only)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp Dutch-process or additional regular cocoa powder
1/4 cup sugar-free sweetener of choice (e.g., monk fruit blend)
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)
1/4 tsp instant coffee granules (optional)
Instructions
- Chill a large mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. If using coconut milk, use only the thick solid cream from the top of a refrigerated can.
- Pour the cold cream or coconut cream into the chilled bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Add the cocoa powders, sweetener, vanilla, and instant coffee (if using).
- Increase speed to medium and whip until fully combined and a smooth, thick mousse texture forms. Do not over-whip.
- Spoon immediately into a serving dish. Enjoy as is or chill for 30-60 minutes for a firmer set.
Notes
- For best results, ensure all ingredients and equipment are very cold.
- Sift cocoa powder and sweetener together to avoid lumps.
- Sweetener can be adjusted to taste. Powdered sweeteners work best for smoothness.
- For a dairy-free version, ensure you use only the solid coconut cream, not the watery liquid.
