3.9 from 56 reviews

This easy 3-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse is a creamy, low-carb dessert made with full-fat coconut cream, sweetener, and unsweetened cocoa powder. It’s rich, luscious, dairy-free, and can be whipped up in just 5 minutes, perfect for a quick and satisfying treat.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 27 fl oz full fat coconut cream (or coconut milk)
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners sweetener (or confectioners icing sugar if not counting carbs)
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch salt (optional, about 1/4 teaspoon)

Optional Garnish

  • 1 oz 70% chocolate, shaved (optional for extra richness)
  • Chocolate shavings (to garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Coconut Cream: Place sealed cans of coconut cream (or milk) in the refrigerator overnight. Without shaking the cans, open carefully and scoop out the thick cream sitting at the top above the water. Transfer the thick cream to a bowl and discard or save the liquid portion for smoothies.
  2. Whip the Cream: Add the sweetener to the coconut cream and beat on high speed using a hand mixer or whisk vigorously until thick and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Reserve around 4 tablespoons of this ‘plain whipped cream’ to use as a topping later and set aside.
  3. Incorporate Cocoa and Salt: Fold the unsweetened cocoa powder and the pinch of salt into the whipped cream. Beat or whisk again until smooth, well combined, and thick. If using shaved chocolate, gently fold it through the mixture.
  4. Set and Serve: The mousse usually thickens immediately once cocoa powder is incorporated. If it isn’t thick enough, refrigerate until set. Serve the mousse dolloped with the reserved plain whipped cream and sprinkle with additional chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

  • Using full-fat coconut cream instead of coconut milk yields a richer, thicker mousse.
  • Do not shake the coconut cream cans before opening to keep the cream and liquid separate.
  • The mousse can be refrigerated for a firmer texture or served immediately for a softer consistency.
  • Sweetener options include confectioners sweetener for low-carb versions or icing sugar for traditional tastes.
  • The optional shaved chocolate enhances richness but can be omitted for a simpler version.
