Modified Chocolate Mousse

(Bob M) #1

Here is a modified version of this recipe:

I’ve doubled it, changed to 100% chocolate, and added more to it. To me, even with 8 Tbsp of allulose, this isn’t that sweet. I often add a bit of liquid stevia to it.

Also, 4 Tbsp = 1/4 cup, so I usually measure using 1/4 cup.

I have a lot of 4 ounce jars with lids, but this makes a lot. I run out of those and have to use larger jars with lids, but I try to keep the amount added around 3-4 ounces.

Chocolate Mousse (Paleo Grubs, larger)

Ingredients

8 ounces 100% chocolate
4 Tbsp (1/4 cup) coconut oil (will be hard depending on room temperature)
4 Tbsp (1/4 cup) cacao powder
2 (14 ounce) cans full fat coconut milk
Pinch salt
8 Tbsp (1/2 cup) Allulose, maybe some other sweetener (liquid)
1 Tbsp MCT oil
½ Tsp vanilla

Process

  1. Add coconut milk, salt, allulose, MCT oil, vanilla, cacao powder, to a blender/food processor (I use blender)

  2. Melt coconut oil in microwave, maybe 1+ minutes

  3. Chop chocolate fairly small, add to microwave-safe bowl

  4. Microwave chocolate on half power maybe 1-1.5 minutes, stir, keep going until melted

  5. Add the melted coconut oil and chocolate to the blender/food processor

  6. Mix on high for a while, push down sides, mix on high until it looks good (could taste and add more liquid sweetener)

  7. Put in jars about 4 ounces, cap, put in fridge for at least an hour

Thanks for your recipe. I often make this one, which has only 3 ingredients and produces a single serving.

Combine in a mid-size bowl 10 gms of 85 per cent dark chocolate and 40 gms of peanuts-only peanut butter and microwave for 30 seconds. Mix with the spoon or fork used to extract the PB from the jar. Add 80 gms of double thick cream (which means no lactose and lots of fat) and keep mixing.

That’s all it requires unless I’m hungry, in which case I might add 40 gms of peanuts or some walnuts. Without the nuts, it can be frozen to produce a rich keto ice cream that comes in at about 600 calories and few carbs. Prep time is about 3 minutes unless I freeze it. This recipe requires no sweetener, and doesn’t need any appliances except the microwave. Obviously yours makes a much bigger serving–I will have to try it out.

Both of your recipes sound interesting, I probably would end up with a modification (there are very few recipes I leave intact - including my own already proved, good ones :upside_down_face:) but I will try them :slight_smile: I LOVE peanuts, that one is especially tempting.

While I do my best to eat really lean now (as lean as I can and then a bit leaner), eventually (at least once a day) I need some rich, fattier treat too.

Sounds lovely too!

I make a chocolate mousse with 90% Lindt chocolate, melted into warm cream with sweetener to taste, whip up an equal volume of cream & then fold into chocolate mixture…

Interesting, thanks for the other recipes. I’ll have to try those.

I think mine made somewhere around 11 containers – most were 4 ounces, filled almost to the top, but some were bigger and I only half filled them. I don’t have enough 4 ounce glass jars. My wife will eat them too.
