Ingredients
  

  • Heavy whipping cream: The base for that light, fluffy texture.
  • Full-fat cream cheese, softened: Adds body and creaminess while keeping carbs low.
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder: Choose a good-quality cocoa for rich flavor. Dutch-processed yields a smoother, darker taste.
  • Powdered erythritol or powdered allulose: Sweetens without sugar. Powdered blends dissolve better than granular.
  • Pure vanilla extract: Rounds out the chocolate flavor.
  • Pinch of fine sea salt: Enhances sweetness and depth.
  • Optional add-ins: Espresso powder, sugar-free chocolate shavings, peppermint extract, orange zest, or a dollop of peanut butter.

Method
 

  1. Chill your tools: For the best whip, place your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for 10 minutes. Cold equipment helps the cream whip quickly and hold its shape.
  2. Whip the cream: Pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Beat on medium-high until soft peaks form. Do not overbeat. Set aside.
  3. Beat the cream cheese: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, about 1–2 minutes. This prevents lumps later.
  4. Add sweetener and cocoa: Sift the cocoa powder and powdered sweetener to avoid clumps. Add them to the cream cheese along with the vanilla and salt. Beat until fully combined and velvety.
  5. Lighten the mixture: Add one-third of the whipped cream to the chocolate mixture and beat on low just to combine. This loosens the base without deflating all the air.
  6. Fold gently: Add the remaining whipped cream and fold with a spatula until no streaks remain. Keep a light hand to maintain that mousse-like airiness.
  7. Adjust sweetness: Taste and add a bit more powdered sweetener if needed. Fold gently to incorporate.
  8. Chill to set: Spoon into serving glasses or bowls. Chill for at least 30–60 minutes. The texture thickens as it cools.
  9. Finish and serve: Top with a dollop of whipped cream, cocoa dusting, fresh raspberries, or shaved sugar-free chocolate. Serve cold.
