Low-Carb Sugar Substitutes. Skip the sugar and go for keto-approved options like erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, stevia, or xylitol. They keep desserts sweet without causing blood sugar spikes, making them perfect for sugar-free dessert recipes.
Coconut Oil. This healthy fat is great in everything from fat bombs to chocolate bark. It gives a subtle coconut flavor and acts as a butter substitute in many dairy-free keto dessert recipes.
Heavy Cream. When you need that rich, creamy texture—think keto mousse or no-bake cheesecake—heavy cream is your best friend. It’s low in carbs and high in fat, just what you want for a satisfying high-fat keto dessert.
Cocoa Powder. Chocolate lovers, rejoice! Unsweetened cocoa powder brings deep flavor without added sugar. It’s a staple in keto brownie recipes, chocolate cakes, and even sugar-free hot cocoa.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, melted dark chocolate, powdered sweetener, and cocoa powder. Use an electric mixer to blend the ingredients until well incorporated. Set the mixture aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This process usually takes about 4-5 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture using a rubber spatula. Make sure to incorporate it gently to maintain a light and airy texture.
Transfer the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Place them in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the mousse to set and develop its flavors.
