Instructions

Prepare mixing tools

Chill the mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Pro tip: Chilled tools help the cream whip faster and stay stable.

Combine ingredients

In the chilled mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, cocoa powder, erythritol, and vanilla extract.

Pro tip: Sift the cocoa powder to avoid lumps.

Whip the cream

Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.

Pro tip: Do not overbeat, as it can turn into butter.

Check consistency

Lift the beaters; the mousse should form soft peaks that hold their shape.

Taste and adjust sweetness

Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more erythritol, one teaspoon at a time.

Pro tip: Remember that chilling can slightly reduce sweetness perception.

Chill the mousse

Transfer the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

Pro tip: Chilling enhances the mousse's texture and flavour.
