I've made a chocolate mousse with nothing but good chocolate and water. You melt the chocolate, and start whipping it, and slowly drizzle in a couple of tablespoons of water. Chocolate tends to "seize up" when water is added, and the mousse exploits that behavior, and helps the chocolate whip to a nice, fluffy consistency. You just have to remember to use *good* chocolate (and it has to be at least 70% cacao for this to work). It's *delicious*.

Shelly looks a really good idea, I will try it !!!!

But in the Coconut and Chocolate Mousse recipe, how I will have to do it with 100% chocolate powder...?

Thanks

Hmm...my birthday is coming up. I'm going to consider making this. If I can make it, I'll provide some feedback.

After reading the recipe, it's a bit confusing on what to do with the vanilla bean (does "vanilla stem" = "vanilla bean"?). Do you cut them up and add them to the chocolate when you add the hot mixture?

BobM, you cut the vanilla stem open and scrape out the smal seeds and add that to the mixture.

This is an amazing desert. I made it on Aldi Coconut Cream 1.4 carbs per 100grams. So good, will definitely be making this again for special occasions.

I am puzzled why you "throw the egg white out" of the recipe. I am a chef with 20 years experience and my advice is that as you separate the egg yolks from the egg white, take the egg whites and whip them into soft peaks. Then when the mousse is chilled to room temperature, fold in the egg whites and put in refrigerator to chill.

I did this and it creates a very airy, delicate dessert rather than a pudding consistency which is an important element in something called, "Mousse".

This is great that it is dairy free, but it can be made with heavy cream as well.

So, on the topic of mousse... No, I am not a chef, but I have come up with an idea which is drop dead relish!! I use coconut cream and chocolate-> the powder or hard "good chocolate" which has been melted. I these blends these TWO ingredients in a food processor or hand beater, whatever, until soft, creamy and floaty light, then spoon into cups. Refrigeration or not, but I usually must eat right away ..omg... add as desired, stevia, vanilla, or nothing at all..

Hi, Is it 16 gr. of carbs per serving or is it 16 grams of carbs for the 4 servings?

Ok checked it again and just saw it's 16 grams of carbs per serving, kind of high being that I'm trying to stay at 20 grams of carbs per day. Trying to figure out how to handle these late night sweet cravings anybody have any ideas?

If you change 70% chocolate to 90% it should lower the carb content.

I would recommend to eat 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil to handle cravings, if that don't work take a little bit more...at least for some that helps....and why not a nice cup of Rooibos tea? :)

Russ: you aren't eating enough fat. Avocados, pate, pork belly, toasted coconut that is unsweetened. Cook on your day off so you have enough food so that you don't get diverted to carbs that are not good for you.

Elizabeth David's chocolate mousse recipe is the easiest ever. For each person - melt 30g of dark (at least 70%) in a bowl over simmering water. Separate 1 egg per person & whisk the egg white until you get soft peaks. Whisk the egg yolk lightly & mix with the melted chocolate when it has cooled a little. Scrape the chocolate/ yolk mixture into the beaten whites & fold in with a metal spoon - or cheat as I do & whisk in. Put into small pots & chill for a couple of hours. My perfect low carb dessert - but only when guests are over. Ohh & a teaspoon of brandy per serving - add to the choc/ yolk mixture doesn't hurt!

So for 4 people - 4 eggs : 120g of dark chocolate.

Hey Russ! I read that sour things, like dill pickles, help kill the "sweet" craving. I tried it and it works for me and other people I've told about it. Hope this helps!

Russ, I have a very sweet tooth......I find this way of eating has helped me to control it to a large degree but every now and then when I am climbing the walls....I like to have a small handful nuts put in the microwave in a pyrex dish (it gets very hot) with one square of very dark choc blitzed until it melts, the nuts bulk out the chocolate and help to fill you up, heating the nuts gives them a wonderful toasted quality and the melted choc really tastes so rich... its worth the carbs of one one square as it really it hits the mark!

I do I chocolate pudding with heated cream, melting 100% chocolate into it, then adding egg and baking in the oven. Then I eat it with berries and cream. Great, and very high in calories (which I need) and keeps me happy when kids eat chocolate pudding.
If anyone is foody enough to convert this into a proper recipe then please do.

I thought there were 15 grams to a carb and I am allowed 8 carbs a day. If you are staying under 20 grams you aren't getting enough carbs.

Hiz Liz!

We call everything between 0 - 100 grams carbs/day LCHF. Liberal LCHF is closer to "100" and strict closer to "0".

Hi Ash!
If you hover your mouse over the symbol for "Strict/Moderate/Liberal Low Carb" on the pictures for all the recipes then you will get that info.

The amount of displayed carbs is net carbs (Total amount of carbs - fiber).

Does anyone know if it is safe to eat raw whipped egg whites (folded into mousse) if one is immunocompromised?

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I've made this twice and it is AWFUL! So bitter. I made it once with cocoa powder and once with chocolate bar. (85% I believe) Both times I added a cup of sugar and folded in whipping cream and gave it to my grandchildren. It was good then.

Can you substitute the vanilla bean with regular vanilla extract? If so how much of the extract would you use?

Shelley,

I just made the the mousse with 4 ounces of 100% chocolate and a pack a sweetener plus a spot of heavy whipping cream. It turned out great but I'm worried that I may have over done it on carbs. I ate the whole finished product. if I did my math correct, one 100% whole chocolate bar is about 38 carbs alone plus the spot of heavy whipping cream. Did I do my math correctly? There is 3 grams of fiber per 2 squares of chocolate. Do I subtract the fiber from the carb count to get my actual carbs?

I am having trouble getting the "pudding" to set. The first time I made this it set fine and was delicious but every time since the mixture is still a chocolate sauce even after a night in the fridge.
