Chocolate Velvet Mousse Sugar Free Recipes

THE BEST SUGAR FREE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• Start by preparing the gelatin. In a medium mixing bowl mix together the unflavored gelatin and the cold water. This will need to sit for a minute or so before moving on to the next step. Add the boiling water to bowl and stir until the gelatin has dissolved.
• Next, in another In a mixing bowl whisk together (you can use a fork) the sugar alternative and the unsweetened cocoa. Use a mixer to beat in the whipped cream (or Greek Yogurt) and the vanilla extract with the cocoa powder and the sugar alternative. Then beat in the gelatin from the first bowl. When the ingredients are well blended you can transfer it to individual bowls and refrigerate before serving.

SUGAR-FREE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Chill a medium-sized mixing bowl in the refrigerator.
• Meanwhile, place the cold water in a small bowl. Sprinkle with gelatin and let it stand for 1 minute.
• Add boiling water and stir the mixture until the gelatin is dissolved. Set that bowl aside.
• Combine Splenda, cocoa powder, salt , whipping cream, and vanilla extract in the chilled bowl until roughly mixed together. With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat mixture until it becomes stiff. Do not overbeat to avoid ending up with butter.
• Beat in the gelatin mixture until it is combined. Again, take care not to overbeat to maintain the texture.
• Spoon the mousse into a decorative dessert dishes or martini glasses and chill for 1 to 2 hours before serving.
• Top with whipped cream lightly sweetened with Splenda and a sprinkling of cocoa powder if desired.

CHOCOLATE VELVET MOUSSE

Steps:

• NOTE: The flavor of this mousse depends entirely on the chocolate you use.
• Please use the highest quality chocolate you can.
• DO NOT use Bakers chocolate.
• Do not use chocolate chips.
• I like Callabeut, but Sharffenberger, Valhrona, Giardelli-- all are options.
• DIRECTIONS: melt the chocolate, espresso, and rum in the microwave on 50% power for about 2 minutes.
• Stir until smooth.
• Whisk in the yolk and mix well.
• Set aside.
• Using a little dash of vinegar and a paper towel, wipe down the insides of the bowl of your mixer, and the whipping attachment.
• Add the whites and whip until soft peaks form.
• Sprinkle in the sugar, beating on high until stiff, but not dry.
• Fold a quarter of the whites into the chocolate to lighten it, then scrape the remaining whites on top of the chocolate and set aside.
• Beat the cream until it holds its shape (not too stiff) then scrape on top of the whites.
• Fold everything together gently until no streaks of white appear.
• Turn the mousse into your prepared mold, into pretty cups, into custard cups, or whatever you are serving it in and refrigerate until service, at least 2 hours.
• Or just refrigerate in the bowl until needed as a filling for cakes or cream puffs, etc.
• Note: This mousse is very rich and decadent, and it's my favorite because it holds it shape nicely when refrigerated.
• This allows it to be formed into molds and terrines and be sliced or cut.
• It is also a great spreading consistency, and my favorite thing to do with this mousse is use it as a filling for cakes.
• I also like to fold more whipped cream into it (50% mousse, 50% whipped cream) and use it as a filling for eclairs, cream puffs and profiteroles.
• The uses for this mousse are endless.

DARK CHOCOLATE VELVET MOUSSE

Steps:

• For the caramel crunch: Spray a rimmed baking sheet with canola cooking spray and set aside.
• Pour the granulated sugar into a clean, dry medium saucepan and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring every so often with a wooden spoon, until the sugar melts and turns a dark amber color (it will register at least 320 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Immediately pour the caramelized sugar onto the prepared baking sheet. Let it cool completely, about 30 minutes; it should become brittle. Once brittle, break it into large pieces, put them in a plastic bag and bash the bag until finer shards form.
• For the mousse: Combine the chocolate, salt and vanilla in a medium bowl.
• Bring 2 cups of the heavy cream just to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour the hot cream into the bowl with the chocolate and stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy, about 2 minutes. Cool completely.
• Beat the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer at the highest speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the confectioners' sugar 1 tablespoon at a time and whisk at the highest speed until shiny, firm peaks form, about 2 minutes more. The mixture should be airy and glossy.
• Gently fold about 1/4 of the egg white mixture into the cooled chocolate mixture until it's all one color and texture. Fold in the rest of the meringue until just incorporated.
• Pour the mixture into a serving bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 6 hours.
• To serve, whip the heavy whipping cream and baker's sugar to soft peaks. Top a scoop of the mousse with whipped cream, caramel crunch, and chopped chocolate.
