Very satisfying.
Perfect end for dinner party. I added grated dark chocolate with the sprinkle of coconut to the top. I also added frozen raspberries dipped in the erythritol… a bit of tart and sweet.
nice. Glad you liked it
Made today to compare to a vanilla keto cheesecake fluff. Used 1 cup of whipping cream and a bit less of the cocoa powder. Eventually added all the cocoa powder but not chocolate enough. Sure miss Chocolate on keto .
Had to add 1 cup of cream instead of half as suggested as was too heavy otherwise, and 1tbsp less of cocoa as 3 is far too much plus half a tbsp more of sweetener. But all in all it’s a great little dish and easy to make.
Quite good and easy to make.
I had the cream cheese at room temperature but will probably microwave it for a few seconds to make the mixing process a bit easier. Also, will add some almond extract and maybe a bit more sweetener.
Thanks – great recipe
Thanks for the feedback. Glad you loved it.
1/2 a cup of whipping cream is just not enough I had to add a little bit more and then I send it down with almond milk it’s just too thick not the consistency of a regular moose so I would recommend a whole cup of whipping cream or a half a cup of whipping cream and a half a cup of almond milk but other than that it’s good
I’m allergic to sugar substitutes so I used agave instead. Really good definitely will make again.
So glad you loved it.
Really needs 1 cup of whipping cream I had to add a little bit more and then I thinned t down with almond milk.. it’s just too thick.. not the consistency of a regular moose so I would recommend a whole cup of whipping cream or a half a cup of whipping cream and a half a cup of almond milk but other than that it’s good
Bit bitter for my tastes but yummy otherwise and so quick and easy to make.

In one place on this page is written:
CAN I FREEZE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
“You may freeze chocolate mouse in a storage container for up to 2 months. Remove and place in the fridge to thaw or simply leave on your kitchen counter for a few hours until it thaws. Then serve and enjoy.”
In another place, you write, as part of the recipe itself:
“We do not recommend freezing”
Which is accurate?
Hi sorry about that. You can freeze it. we updated the comment
Serving is 6 so I’m wondering what the measure amount is…like 1/3 cup or what?
I would say about 3/4 cup. Using one full cup will yield 4 servings
I added 1/3 cup melted Lily’s semi sweet chocolate chips and one additional tablespoon Swerve sweetener. Without it I thought it tasted a little too much like the cream cheese. This recipe was really great. I will make this again and again and again. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked it.
I really like this recipe, the simplest one I have found. I would like to know where the 4 carbs per serving come from.
Hi Jenny. The nutrition facts calculator I am using is pulling some carbs from the cheese and heavy cream. The amount may be lower than the 4g. The calculator is a rough estimate and isn’t 100 percent.
Second d time making it. This time I added 1 cup heavy cream instead of 1/2 cup as suggested. I like it a little lighter. Divided it into 6 servings. Not sur carb count now
