I sent the recipe to a friend who’s following a keto diet, and she texted me to say that her non-keto family loved the chocolate mousse so much that she barely even got a serving for herself.
If you’re vegan like I am, the dessert is naturally egg free and can easily be made dairy free by using coconut milk or coconut cream. Feel free to use regular sugar or your favorite sweetener of choice if you’re not on a low carb or sugar free diet.

How to make keto mousse
Start by gathering all of your ingredients. Chill the coconut milk or heavy cream and the actual mixing bowl, then whip the liquid with hand beaters until it thickens and stiff peaks form.
Whip in the cocoa powder and sweetener of choice. For the richest flavor, I recommend including the dutch cocoa if you can find it. Once a mousse texture is achieved, serve and enjoy.
Cover any leftovers, and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
The recipe was adapted from my Vegan Chocolate Mousse and from this 3 ingredient Peanut Butter Mousse.

Wondering if you can eat frozen? Is it still a nice texture?
Hmm we have never tried it!
Can I use liquid monk fruit extract instead of powder? I cannot use erythritol due to its source. Really wanting to make this!
Love it! Next time I will sue powdered sweetener rather an granular
Satisfied dessert craving. It was delicious! Used all ingredients and next time will add a few nuts. Thank you for sharing,
This was very delicious and took my sweet tooth away I will definitely be making this again thank you all glory to God
Made this today and oh my stars, it won’t be the last time. I used only Hershey’s Cocoa powder because it is what I had. Included the vanilla and instant coffee and threw some walnuts on top. Amazing! Thanks so much. Can’t wait to explore your other recipes.
This is the bomb! My husband can’t believe its sugar free! Thanks for the recipe!
This keto mousse was smooth and amazing! Thank you for the recipe.
This would make a great cupcake frosting! Very rich.
How much coconut cream if you are using that instead of coconut milk?
Still one can. There will be a little more cream in a can of cream than in a can of coconut milk, but both amounts work just fine here 🙂
