If you are a fan of chocolate mousse and chocolate cheesecake, then you will LOVE this Keto chocolate cheesecake mousse. This Keto chocolate mousse is light, rich, and creamy with a bit of crunch. It consists of soft chocolate cheesecake layers separated by a chocolate crumb. This dessert requires a few staple ingredients and 15 minutes to prepare. It is one of the easiest Keto chocolate recipes you will come across.
How to make this low-carb chocolate mousse?
This recipe is prepared in 3 stages. First, add the heavy cream to a bowl and whip it until stiff peaks form. To another bowl, mix the cream cheese, cocoa powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Fold the whipped cream with the cream cheese mixture and set it aside for assembling. To make the crumb, toast the almond flour with butter in a pan until golden, then mix in cocoa powder and sweetener. To assemble, layer the chocolate mousse and crumb in serving glasses.
What is the best chocolate to use for chocolate mousse?
To limit the number of carbs and keep this recipe Keto-friendly, we are using cocoa powder. Many Keto-friendly chocolate recipes use sugar-free chocolate bars, which result in more carbs and takes longer to prepare.
How long does chocolate mousse last?
Tightly seal the mousse cups with plastic wrap and place them in the fridge. They will last for 4-5 days.
Can you omit the crumb from this recipe?
The crumb adds texture and a nutty flavor to this Keto chocolate mousse. You can omit it if you want, but we recommend keeping it since it takes this low-carb chocolate mousse to the next level.

Hi 😊 probably a silly question but how can you have 5g net carbs if there’s only 3G fibre and 31g total carbs??
Dyoung61 21 days ago
Because you deduct the fiber and sugar alcohol from the total carbs to get the net

This recipe is so beyond good. I cannot believe this is only 5 carbs. It tastes better than some chocolate mousse I've had at restaurants

Scrumptious, smooth and chocolatey. Added contrast of crumble is nice. Could crush a few nuts in topping.

There’s a difference between net and total carbs! I also do total carbs it’s 30.5 carbs per serving
FantasticRadish909082 7 months ago
She must be looking at the carbs as whole it does say total carbs 30.5 but you are counting net carbs on the keto diet. There are 5 per serving and this recipe makes 2 servings.

How? I eat about 20 carbs a day. This has 5.

How!? It's 5.2g for 1 serving. Too much? Cut it to ½.

It’s 5.2 g of net carbs. Not something I’d eat everyday, but on occasion I’d swap the 6 net carbs in a cup of steamed broccoli to eat chocolate!
