Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed or natural)
  • Granulated or powdered keto sweetener (allulose, erythritol, or a blend)
  • Heavy whipping cream (or full-fat coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • Unsalted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • Vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • Optional add-ins: instant espresso powder, almond extract, peppermint extract
  • Optional toppings: sugar-free chocolate shavings, toasted nuts, unsweetened coconut flakes, flaky sea salt, fresh raspberries

Instructions
 

  • Warm the base: In a small saucepan over low heat, add 3/4 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Warm gently, stirring, until the butter melts and the mixture is steamy but not boiling.
  • Whisk in dry ingredients: Add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup keto sweetener, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until completely smooth with no cocoa lumps. If needed, remove from heat while whisking to avoid scorching.
  • Add flavor: Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. For a mocha vibe, add 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder. Taste and adjust sweetness.
  • Lighten the mixture: In a mixing bowl, whip an additional 3/4 cup heavy cream to soft peaks. Fold the warm chocolate mixture into the whipped cream in two additions until smooth and airy.
  • Portion: Spoon into 4 small ramekins or cups. Tap gently to level the tops.
  • Chill: Refrigerate for at least 45–60 minutes, or until set and spoonable. The texture should be creamy, not firm like a ganache.
  • Finish and serve: Top with sugar-free chocolate shavings, a few raspberries, or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Enjoy cold.
