Diabetic Chocolate Mousse Cake Recipe

This triple layer keto mousse cake is a glorious sugar-free dessert recipe. It combines a brownie base with creamy keto chocolate mousse, all topped off with airy espresso mousse.

You may have noticed that I have a thing for rich, creamy chocolate desserts. And perhaps you’ve figured out by now that I adore coffee and coffee-flavored treats.

So it only makes sense that I bring these two passions together from time to time. Keto tiramisu is a prime example, as are my keto chocolate truffles with espresso.

But this stunning keto mousse cake may be the crowning achievement of keto desserts. It’s so creamy, so light, and yet so rich. Two delicious layers of mousse on top of a fudgy brownie crust. I dream about this stuff!

There are any number of ways to make keto mousse. There is the traditional French style mousse, which involves whipping egg whites to stiff peaks and folding them into the chocolate mixture.

And then there are easier versions based on cream cheese and whipped cream. My famous 5 Minute Keto Peanut Butter Mousse falls into this category, as does my Keto White Chocolate Mousse.

But this keto mousse cake employs a third method that uses gelatin to set a whipped cream mousse. It’s ideal for mousse that needs to maintain its shape, such as in a mold or a cake. And it’s quite easy to do, so don’t be intimidated by all the layers of this cake. Let me walk you through it, step by step!

I wanted this cake to be taller and more impressive looking, so I chose to use an 8-inch cake pan. You could also do a 9-inch pan, but the layers will be more spread out and the brownie base will cook through faster.

You can’t use any old cake pan, however, or you will never get your cake out in once piece. It must be a pan with removable sides. Choose a springform pan or a pan with a removable bottom.

Grease the pan well, so the brownie layer doesn’t stick, and line the bottom with parchment so it’s easier to transfer the cake to a cake plate.

Keto Chocolate Espresso Mousse Cake utilizes keto brownies as the crust. My favorite brownie recipe contains almond flour, but you also use coconut flour brownies if you want to be nut-free.

Because a round pan has less total area than a square pan of the same width, the brownies will take a bit longer to bake through than normal. Keep your eye on them, and remove them from the oven when the edge are set but the center is still a tiny bit jiggly.

I also recommend setting the cake pan on a cookie sheet before baking, especially if using a pan with a removable bottom. This keeps any oils that drip out during baking from messing up the bottom of your oven.

First, make sure to melt the chocolate completely, but don’t let it get too hot or it will seize. I recommend melting with a little butter or coconut oil to smooth it out.

Bloom the gelatin in some water in a saucepan, and and then heat it gently with a little of the cream. Once the gelatin dissolves, whisk this into the bowl of melted chocolate.

Then whip the remaining cream with sweetener and vanilla until it holds stiff peaks. Fold this carefully into the melted chocolate until no streaks remain. Pour over the crust and refrigerate.

Bloom the gelatin again in some strong coffee or espresso, and then gently heat until the gelatin dissolves. Let this mixture cool to lukewarm.

Whip the cream with the sweetener and vanilla until it holds stiff peaks. Then stir in the espresso mixture until no streaks remain and pour this over the chocolate mousse layer.

Yes, you can still make this cake. Just know that your brownie base will be thinner and thus will bake through faster. So set your timer for 15 minutes and check on it frequently.

Yes, certainly! You can either swap the almond flour in the brownies for sunflower seed flour, or you can use my coconut flour brownie recipe.

You really need a powdered sweetener to give the mousse some structure without grittiness. Other powdered sweeteners may work but I do find that things made with allulose tend to take a long time to set properly.

This cake keeps well for up to 5 days. Store in the refrigerator at all times in a covered container, with any cut edges covered with plastic wrap to keep it from drying out.

It has a chocolate brownie crust with a coconut cream and avocado chocolate filling. It tastes as good as a traditional mousse cake (maybe even better) but it’s made with healthy ingredients; paleo, gluten-free, vegan, and refined sugar free.

Now that we’re in the holiday season I wanted to create really decadent dessert I could bring to parties and serve to my family. I wanted something special. You’ll probably agree Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or whatever you celebrate calls for a rich chocolate cake.

I also wanted to make it with healthy ingredients and not too many nuts. I’ve made many creamy cheesecakes with cashew nuts and they are great but I wanted this to be even lighter and creamier. In this recipe the only nuts are in the crust.

Low Carb Chocolate Mousse Recipe (sugar Free)

For this rich, velvety, creamy chocolate cake we start with a chocolate brownie crust. It bakes for about 10 minutes, while you prepare the mousse filling.

The inspiration for the filling came from my rich and silky Raw Avocado Mousse. I added coconut cream for extra creaminess and a little coconut oil for just the right firmness.

The easiest way to prepare the cake is to weigh some of the ingredients rather than measure them. For example I find using a kitchen scale to weigh the coconut oil and cacao powder simpler than using a measuring cup or spoon. I’ve written in the weights for certain ingredients you might find helpful.

Chocolate Mousse Is A Diabetic Friendly Option!!

The fun part for me is tasting the recipe as I go along. I tweaked it a few times until I was satisfied it was as rich and creamy as a traditional chocolate mousse.

Fortunately the cake can be frozen so Roger and I didn’t have to eat all 3 cakes. Even the first few were good enough to bring to my son’s house and women’s group so they could help us eat them. It wasn’t much of a hardship.

After you pour the mousse over the crust, the cake needs to chill in the refrigerator or freezer to firm up.It needs at least 4 hours but overnight is best .

Originally I thought I wanted to serve it with coconut whipped cream. But it was so rich it didn’t need it at all. Instead I put chocolate shavings on top. Here’s a how to make chocolate shavings video I found on youtube.

Avocados are a healthy food. They contain 20 vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and a good amount of fiber. Fiber is a nutrient which provides a feeling of fullness and helps keep blood sugar balanced.

Coconut cream and coconut oil are noted for their healthyfat and vitamin content. Rich in MCTs and electrolytes, coconut creamkeeps your hearthealthy and gives you energy.
