Ingredients
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 84 grams chocolate chips I use Lily's. This was about 1/4th of a cup, but be sure to weigh your chocolate chips for accurate macros.
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sweetener I use organic powdered monkfruit. Use Discount Code STAYSNATCHED to save.
Instructions
- Add 1/2 cup heavy cream and the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl.
- Melt the cream and chocolate in the microwave for 60-90 seconds. Stir until the chocolate has fully melted. Microwave again if necessary. Mine took 90 seconds
- Allow the melted chocolate to cool for 10 minutes.
- Add 1 cup heavy cream, vanilla, and the Confectioner's (Powdered) Sweetener to the cooled chocolate in the mixing bowl.
- Use a hand mixer or standing mixer to beat the cream and chocolate on medium for about 1-3 minutes until stiff peaks form. You can test stiff peaks using your mixer. Turn the whisks upside down they batter should point straight up without collapsing at all (or maybe a little bit just at the very tips). The mixture is thick and heavy. Do not overbeat, the mixture will split.
- Serve.

Notes
- You can substitute heavy cream for full-fat coconut milk. It will alter the texture some. Low fat coconut milk will be runny.
- The mixture will make 2 1/2 cups of mousse.
- If you don't use monkfruit, you can substitute for whatever you like. If you want to use refined sugar, you can use the same amount noted in the recipe. If you want to use something like stevia or splenda you will have to convert the measurements. You will use the same conversion necessary for refined sugar.
- I use whipping cream that has zero carbs per serving.
- If you don't use powdered Confectioner's sweetener, you may experience a change in texture and can taste the gains of sugar.
- To make homemade whipped cream: Add 1/2 cup whipping cream to a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer and mix for 2 minutes. Add in 1 tablespoon of granulated sweetener. Mix until whipped cream forms.
