Equipment

  • Stand mixer or hand mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • 4 Ramekins standard size
  • Instant read thermometer

Ingredients

  • 8.5 oz 250g heavy cream 36% fat, cold
  • 4.5 oz 125g dark chocolate I use semi-sweet sugar-free chocolate with 54-55% cocoa such as from Lily's
  • 2 yolks 35g of large eggs
  • 3 tbsp 35g allulose sweetener
  • 2 ½ tbsp 35g water
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Instructions

  • Place the chocolate into a heat-safe bowl and set aside.
  • Add half of the cold heavy cream into a bowl and whisk to soft peaks. Place into the fridge.
  • Add the second half of the cream into a saucepan and heat over medium heat until it starts simmering. Remove from the heat and pour the cream into the chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until the chocolate has melted and formed a homogenous consistency with the hot cream. Add vanilla, mix, and set aside.
  • Place the egg yolks, salt, sweetener, and water into a glass or metal bowl and place it over a pot with lightly simmering water (double-boiler). Heat, mixing consistently until the mixture reaches 71C or 160F. Use an instant-read thermometer to check.
  • Remove from the heat and beat on medium-high for 10 minutes with a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat until tripled in size and pale in color.
  • Combine the egg mixture and the chocolate ganache until a homogenous consistency.
  • Add the whipped heavy cream to the chocolate mixture. Fold with a rubber spatula until fully combined, then pour into clean and dry dishes that you will use to serve the mousse (I use 4 standard size ramekins).
  • Refrigerate for 3-5 hours or overnight until set. You can also freeze it for 1 hour if you're in a hurry. Decorate with extra whipped cream, cocoa powder, shaved chocolate, or fresh berries and serve.
