Notes
- Powdered sugar: If you don't want to use maple syrup, use 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar (15g).
- Sweetness: This mousse isn't overly sweet. If you prefer a sweeter mousse, add 1-2 tablespoons more of your preferred sweetener.
- Leftovers: Keep in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer for 2 months. Variations
- Change the sweetener: Honey can also work, as do sugar free sweeteners like keto maple syrup and allulose.
- Add flavor boosters: Vanilla extract, espresso powder, and fresh berries can transform the flavor of the mousse.
- Cut the dairy: I’ve successfully made this chocolate mousse with dairy-free cottage cheese.
