Recipe Summary Keto Chocolate-Coconut Mousse
This keto-friendly mousse is made with an unexpected ingredient--cottage cheese! Note that the nutritional information doesn't reflect NET carbs, of which there are 6 grams per serving. Use your favorite keto-approved sweetener that measures like sugar.Ingredients | Chocolate Mousse Shot Glass Desserts½ cup full-fat cottage cheese1 ounce cream cheese, softened1 tablespoon low-calorie natural sweetener (such as Swerve®)1 tablespoon Dutch-processed unsweetened cocoa powder¼ teaspoon coconut extract1 teaspoon unsweetened coconut flakes (Optional)DirectionsCombine cottage cheese and cream cheese in the bowl of a mini food-processor. Blend until smooth and no lumps remain, about 30 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl and add in sweetener, cocoa powder, and coconut extract. Blend again until thoroughly combined.Refrigerate until set, at least 30 minutes. Top with coconut before serving.Feel free to use regular cocoa powder, however Dutch-Process (such as Ghirardelli(R)) has a smoother, more mellow flavor that is less acidic.Use more sweetener if you like. I prefer to use Swerve(R) as it has very little aftertaste. While it does contain 3 to 4 g of carbs per teaspoon, the ingredients in Swerve(R) do not affect blood sugar, so the carbs it contains are considered non-impact. Because of this, a common keto practice is to subtract grams of fiber and grams of sugar alcohol from the total carb count, making Swerve(R) ZERO carbs. The net carbs per serving for the mousse is 6 grams, based on the remaining ingredients.Info | Chocolate Mousse Shot Glass Dessertsprep: 5 mins additional: 30 mins total: 35 mins Servings: 1 Yield: 1 serving
