Mousse Cups Ingredients

  • 4 ounces sugar-free semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2/3 cup monk fruit/allulose powdered
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp instant espresso powder
  • 2 tsp hot water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Gently melt the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. If needed, heat in 20-second bursts, stirring in between, until completely melted.
  • Pour the melted chocolate into 6 paper or silicone cupcake liners set in a muffin pan. Carefully spread the chocolate around and up the sides of each liner to form cups. Chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until the chocolate is firm.
  • In a small dish, dissolve the instant espresso powder in the hot water and set aside.
  • In a separate, chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set this aside gently.
  • In another mixing bowl, briefly beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until it's light and fluffy.
  • Add the powdered sweetener, unsweetened cocoa powder, dissolved espresso, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until everything is well combined and smooth.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, keeping the mousse light and airy.
  • Transfer the mousse to a piping bag (or simply spoon it in) and fill the chilled chocolate cups. Refrigerate the mousse cups until you're ready to serve and enjoy this elegant, healthy dessert!
