DECADENT CARNIVORE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE: PROTEIN-PACKED DESSERT WITHOUT SUGAR By Miriam Rees
Who says indulgence can’t fit into a carnivore or low-carb lifestyle? If you’ve been craving a rich, creamy dessert without the sugar, this Carnivore Chocolate Mousse is your new go-to. Made primarily with eggs, heavy cream, and unsweetened chocolate, it’s a dessert that satisfies your sweet tooth while keeping your wellness and fitness goals on track.
Whether you’re aiming for weight loss, maintaining a low-carb diet, or simply enjoying high-protein treats, this mousse is a decadent way to indulge without guilt.
Why This Dessert Fits a Carnivore Lifestyle
Traditional desserts are usually loaded with sugar, grains, or processed ingredients that can disrupt blood sugar and slow progress on health or weight-loss goals. This carnivore chocolate mousse avoids all that. By focusing on animal-based and high-fat ingredients, it provides:
- Protein and fat for satiety and energy
- Zero refined sugar, keeping blood sugar stable
- Rich, creamy texture that feels indulgent without the carbs
This is a dessert you can enjoy after dinner, as a snack, or as a post-workout treat.
Ingredients (Serves 2–4)
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (full-fat)
- 2 oz unsweetened dark chocolate (85% or higher)
- 1–2 tsp erythritol or preferred keto-friendly sweetener (optional, if you want slight sweetness)
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Stir until smooth and set aside to slightly cool.
- Separate the eggs, placing whites in one bowl and yolks in another.
- Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. This will give your mousse a light, airy texture.
- Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form.
- Mix the yolks with the melted chocolate until fully combined. If using a sweetener or vanilla extract, add here.
- Fold the chocolate-yolk mixture gently into the whipped cream. Then fold in the whipped egg whites carefully, keeping as much air as possible for a fluffy texture.
- Divide into serving bowls or glasses and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to set.
- Optional garnish: Sprinkle with cocoa powder or a few shaved chocolate pieces for presentation.
Tips for Perfect Carnivore Chocolate Mousse
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the richest flavor.
- Do not overmix when folding in whipped cream or egg whites—light folding keeps it airy.
- Chill adequately in the fridge; the mousse firms up and develops a creamier texture as it cools.
- Serving ideas: Enjoy as-is, or top with a dollop of whipped cream or a few berries (if you’re okay with a small carb addition).
