200 grams of dark chocolate (70% or higher): Rich in flavor and low in sugar.
300 ml of cold whipping cream: Use low-fat or light cream to keep it calorie-conscious.
2 tablespoons of natural sweetener (e.g., stevia or erythritol): Optional, depending on your sweetness preference.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Melt the Chocolate
Break the dark chocolate into pieces and melt it gently using a double boiler or microwave.
Let the chocolate cool slightly but ensure it remains smooth and pourable.
2. Whip the Cream
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cold whipping cream until soft peaks form.
Reserve a few tablespoons of the whipped cream for garnish if desired.
3. Combine and Sweeten
Gradually fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream. Use a spatula to combine gently, preserving the airy texture.
If needed, add your natural sweetener and fold until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
4. Chill
Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Garnish with a dollop of reserved whipped cream, grated chocolate, or fresh berries for a decorative touch.
