Instructions:
- In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Remove the cream from heat and whisk in powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, chopped unsweetened chocolate, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture to a mixing bowl and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is well chilled.
- Once chilled, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the chocolate mixture until it forms stiff peaks.
- Divide the mousse into serving glasses or bowls, then refrigerate for another 30 minutes to firm up.
- Before serving, garnish the Keto Chocolate Mousse with a dollop of whipped cream, grated dark chocolate, or fresh raspberries, if desired.
