Ingredient Notes

Cream Cheese: I recommend using full-fat cream cheese for this recipe. For a dairy free cheesecake version, you can use a nut based dairy free cream cheese. (Try these Cream Cheese Chocolate Truffles)
Heavy Cream: The heavy cream in this recipe is used to make fresh whipped cream to fold into the keto cheesecake mix. It gives it a nice light and airy texture. For a dairy free alternative, you can use a canned, full-fat coconut milk.
Cocoa Powder: For this keto chocolate mousse recipe, you will need an unsweetened cocoa powder, not to be confused with hot cocoa mix, which has added sugars.
Sweetener: For this recipe I use a mixture of erythritol and monk fruit sweetener. (This is the brand I use) It has no weird after taste or cooling effect. However, you can use any low carb sweetener that you prefer. (Try these Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites)
Vanilla Extract: I recommend using a good quality pure vanilla extract and not an imitation extract. This is also delicious with caramel extract or even almond extract.
Almond Flour: The almond flour is used to make a low carb and gluten free graham cracker like crust for these keto chocolate cheesecake cups. I recommend using blanched almond flour. (This is the brand I use)
