Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon gelatin
Instructions
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom, allowing the gelatin to soften completely.
- Place the unsweetened cocoa powder and sugar substitute in a medium mixing bowl, whisking them together until well combined and free of any lumps.
- In a separate clean mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and begin whipping it using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Gently warm the bloomed gelatin in a microwave for 10-15 seconds or using a double boiler until it becomes completely liquid, being careful not to overheat.
- Add vanilla extract to the gelatin and stir to combine, then slowly pour the liquid gelatin into the cocoa powder mixture, mixing thoroughly to create a smooth chocolate base.
- Carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture using a spatula, ensuring a light and airy texture without deflating the cream.
- Transfer the mousse into individual serving glasses or ramekins, using a spatula to distribute evenly.
- Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours or until it sets completely and becomes firm.
- Before serving, optionally garnish with a light dusting of cocoa powder or a small mint leaf for presentation.
Tips
- Gelatin Blooming: Ensure your gelatin blooms completely for a smooth, consistent texture. Use cold water and let it sit for exactly 5 minutes.
- Whipping Cream Technique: For the lightest mousse, use chilled heavy cream and a cold mixing bowl. Stop whipping just when soft peaks form to maintain maximum volume.
- Sugar Substitute Selection: Choose a high-quality sugar substitute that measures like regular sugar for the best taste and texture.
- Folding Technique: When incorporating whipped cream, use a gentle folding motion with a spatula to preserve the air bubbles and keep the mousse light.
- Chilling is Key: Allow at least 2 hours of refrigeration to ensure the perfect set and develop the most intense flavors.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra touch of elegance, serve in clear glasses to showcase the mousse's beautiful layers and texture.
