3 Ingredient Protein Chocolate Mousse (low-carb, gluten-free, sugar-free)

Servings 2
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
CHILLING 3 hours
Total Time 3 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp (30g) heavy whipping cream 35-40% fat
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream 35-40% fat
  • 1/4 cup (50g) chocolate dark or semi-sweet (I used 70% dark chocolate)
  • 1/3 cup (30g) whey protein powder (I used vanilla flavored)
  • 1 tbsp powdered sweetener (optional)

Instructions

  • Melt the chocolate and 2 tbsp (30g) of heavy cream in a double boiler or a microwave in a microwave-proof bowl. Stir the chocolate to make sure it is evenly melted. Once melted, place the chocolate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to cool down.
  • In the meantime, combine a heavy cream, and protein powder, and optionally powdered sweetener into the mixing dish. Use a hand mixer or a standing mixer to beat the cream until firm peaks form.
  • Remove the cooled chocolate from the refrigerator. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in whipped cream into the chocolate until combined. Portion the mixture into serving cups and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to let the mousse firm up before serving.
  • Serve with more whipped cream sprinkled with chocolate shavings.
