This creamy low-carb 5-ingredient chocolate mousse is dairy-free and so easy to whip up. All you need is literally 3 ingredients: coconut milk that you cream in the fridge (so you only use the thick part), cacao powder and low-carb sweetener. I also added cinnamon and topped it with toasted coconut flakes but feel free to keep it super simple.
Which Coconut Milk Should I Use?
You'll canned coconut milk for this recipe. I recommend. Thai Kitchen Organic is a good option. Do not use any liquid, carton coconut milk. Although it wouldn't work here, it's ideal for making frothy Low-carb Cappuccino!
Good to know...
- Guar gum, which is often added as thickener in coconut milk, may cause digestive difficulties. However, most people use it with no issues.
- Use BPA-free coconut milk. Even if it's not on the label, it doesn't mean there is no BPA: Products are not required to include this information on their product labels.

Instructions
- Place a can of coconut milk into the fridge overnight. Don’t shake the can before opening. It should get very thick and the solids should separate from water. If it doesn’t, you need to try another brand. Once thick, transfer to a bowl (without the water!). The extracted cream will be used for the mousse. To get a cup of creamed coconut milk, you'll need 1-2 cans coconut milk.

- Whip in the raw cocoa powder - electric mixer will make the mousse really smooth and works best.

- Place in a serving glass and garnish with a pinch of shredded coconut or toasted flaked coconut. You can also top the mousse with some berries (blackberries are the lowest in carbs).
The mousse is best served after chilled for at lest an hour and then topped with toasted flaked coconut. To toast the coconut, place it on a non-stick pan and let it brown while stirring (1-2 minutes).
