These little chocolate mousse pots are delicious and will help with any “sweet cravings” you might have when “going keto”!
You will need:
2 x bars of 70 (or higher) percent –cocoa dark chocolate (Lindt is the best) OR 4 oz cocoa powder
1 medium ripe avocado
200ml whipping cream
3 egg whites
Optional: vanilla essence
Optional: Powdered Stevia (or Stevia drops) – taste the mix before adding!)
Optional decoration: 1 strawberry (8 percent carb)
1 raspberry (12 percent carb)
Recommend getting out two mixing bowls.
Melt the chocolate over a bain marie.
Whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks in one bowl
Whisk the cream until firm in another bowl.
Place an avocado in a food processor with a few dollops of cream and pulse till smooth.
Combine cream and egg whites, fold in melted chocolate and then add the creamed avocado, carefully blending and folding; add vanilla essence if desired.
Add stevia if desired – personally I don’t think it’s necessary with all the cream!
Place into small dessert pots and leave in fridge until set. NB you can also place into covered plastic tubs and freeze for later.
To serve: Add a dollop of extra thick cream and strawberries to garnish if you want!
