TIPS FOR THE BEST KETO CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
- Adjusting to the taste: You should taste the mousse first and make sure that you are satisfied with the amount of the sweetener you used.
- Avoid Over-Whipping the Cream and Vanilla: You should stop whisking your heavy cream and vanilla when the mixture just thickens and becomes creamy. Not being able to stop whisking would result to the formation of stiff peaks. even before adding your other ingredients.
- Mix until the Stiff Peaks Form: Once you have added your cocoa powder, chocolate sweetener, and salt, mix your mousse until its texture is the consistency of a mousse. Test your stiff peaks by slowly lifting your beater from the mousse. If it spikes up and stays that way, your mousse is now ready.
