Ingredients

• 2 oz. (56g) full-fat cream cheese
• softened
• ½ cup (120mL) heavy cream
• heaping ¼ cup (40g) confectioners Swerve
• 2 ½ tbsps (12g) unsweetened dark cocoa powder
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• pinch of salt

Instructions

• Let the cream cheese come up to room temperature or microwave it for 10 seconds to soften it.
• Add it to a medium sized bowl and beat it with a hand mixer until it loosens up and becomes creamy.
• When it does; add in the heavy cream and beat again.
• You'll want to beat the two together until stiff ribbons form and the heavy cream thickens up.
• Once that happens; add in the rest of the ingredients and mix again.
• This time you'll want to mix everything until the unsweetened cocoa powder completely dissolves into the other ingredients
• When that happens; you'll want to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and then mix everything together with your hand mixer one last time.
• Serve immediately or store in the fridge for several days.

• Tips:
• Beat the ingredients with a hand mixer or stand mixer until firm peaks form. The mousse will be light and fluffy as a result of this.
• You may use granulated Swerve or Monk Fruit sweetener if you don't have confectioners Swerve. However; if you use granulated sugar; the mousse might not be as silky.
• The mousse can be enhanced with other tastes such as orange; raspberry or peppermint extract.
• The mousse can also include chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
• The mousse can be stored in the fridge for several days. It will thicken up even more if you refrigerate it.
