Creamy Keto Coconut Mousse

This ultra-creamy, velvety dessert is a low-carb tropical treat. It satisfies sweet cravings completely without spiking blood sugar, featuring a rich coconut base topped with shredded flakes.

Ingredients & Instructions

  • Servings: 4

  • Prep time: 10 mins | Chill time: 2 hours

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (14 oz) Full-fat coconut milk (chilled overnight, use solid cream top)

  • 1/2 cup Heavy whipping cream

  • 3 tbsp Powdered Erythritol or Allulose

  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut (for topping)

Steps:

  1. Whip Cream: In a bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

  2. Blend Base: In a separate bowl, scoop out the hardened coconut cream top from the chilled can. Add sweetener and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and fluffy.

  3. Fold: Gently fold the whipped cream into the coconut mixture until completely combined.

  4. Set & Serve: Spoon into a dish, top evenly with unsweetened shredded coconut, and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes & Tips

  • Chill the Can: Don’t skip chilling the coconut milk overnight; you need the fat to separate from the liquid to get that thick, mousse texture.

  • Dairy-Free Option: Swap the heavy whipping cream for a second can of chilled coconut cream.

Q&A

Q: Can I use granulated sweetener?

A: It’s best to use powdered sweetener. Granulated versions won’t dissolve properly in cold cream, leaving your mousse with a gritty texture.

Q: How long does it keep in the fridge?

A: Store it in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Give it a gentle stir if any separation occurs.
