I love this Chocolate Mousse because it feels decadent but is super simple to make. It can be served individually and dressed up with a berry and mint garnish for a coursed dinner or set out in a serving bowl with a big spoon for a buffet style gathering. Either way, it’s a winner.
In a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the 2 cups Heavy Cream until soft peaks form.
2 cups Heavy Cream
Add in the sifted 1/4 cup Dutch Processed Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, 1/2 Cup Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener, 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract, 1 teaspoon Coffee Extract, and 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt.

Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Store in the fridge until ready to serve. Spoon into individual serving cups and top with a couple of fresh berries and a sprig of mint for a pretty plating.
If you only have granulated sweetener available, I recommend making this a day in advance and letting it sit in the fridge. This will give the granulated sweetener time to be fully absorbed to avoid a mildly gritty texture. (I may have had this happen a time or two.)
If you use Powdered Erythritol instead of Powdered Monk Fruit, double the amount of erythritol.
