Carnivore chocolate mousse is a rich, creamy, and indulgent dessert that fits perfectly within a carnivorous lifestyle. By using animal-based ingredients, this mousse manages to be both decadent and aligned with the principles of a high-protein, low-carb diet.
Ingredients:
- 4 large egg yolks (pasture-raised preferred)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (grass-fed for better flavor)
- 2 tablespoons beef gelatin powder (optional, for extra protein)
- 2 tablespoons butter or ghee
- Stevia or monk fruit (optional, to taste)
Instructions:
- Whisk the egg yolks: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth and creamy.
- Melt the butter and cream: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and add the heavy cream. Stir until well combined and heated through.
- Add the cocoa: Whisk the unsweetened cocoa powder into the butter and cream mixture until smooth.
- Incorporate gelatin (optional): If you’re adding gelatin for a thicker texture, dissolve it in 2 tablespoons of water, then whisk it into the cocoa mixture.
- Mix with egg yolks: Slowly pour the hot cocoa mixture into the whisked egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
- Cool and set: Pour the mixture into serving glasses or a large bowl. Let it cool slightly before placing it in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours.
- Serve: Once the mousse has firmed up, enjoy it as-is or topped with a dollop of whipped cream made from heavy cream.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use grass-fed butter and high-quality cocoa powder.
- Adjust sweetness according to your taste with stevia or monk fruit, keeping it in line with carnivore-friendly sweeteners.
Enjoy the velvety, smooth indulgence of carnivore chocolate mousse while staying true to your dietary goals!
