Is heavy whipping cream keto?
Heavy whipping cream is a great dairy choice when following a low carb keto plan. Heavy whipping cream, also referred to as HWC, must contain at least 36% milkfat. It also contains calcium, choline, phosphorus, and vitamins A, D, and E. You can add heavy whipping cream to your favorite desserts, such as mousses and cheesecakes, or you can use it to make your own keto sweetened whipped cream. It is a great choice if you like creamer for your coffee. It can also be added to many dishes including casseroles, quiches, sauces, and soups, to give them added creaminess and richness.
Let’s talk about the other ingredients that go into this keto peanut butter chocolate chip mousse!
The combination of cream cheese and peanut butter gives our mousse an awesome creamy texture. When buying peanut butter, I always check my nutritional label to make sure my peanut butter contains only peanuts or peanuts and salt. My choice for powdered sugar is the Swerve brand. It contains zero calories and zero net carbs. It also tastes great! We only need a little unsweetened cocoa powder to give our mousse great chocolate flavor. Then just a little vanilla and salt are added. For chocolate chips, I used Lily’s semi-sweet chocolate chips. If you’d like, you could use keto milk or dark chocolate chips for your mousse.
Is there anything I should know about making this keto peanut butter chocolate chip mousse?
This is a quick, easy, and fun dish to make; but I do have a few tips for making it. First, I recommend chilling your bowl and beaters for about 15-20 minutes before making your whipping cream. Also, take your whipping cream out of the refrigerator just when you’re ready to use it. You want everything as cold as possible when making whipped cream. Next, I sift my cocoa powder to ensure there won’t be any lumps in the mousse. Last, I like to stir in my chocolate chips and then use a spoon or spatula to fold the whipped cream into the mousse. You can eat your mousse right away, or you can store it in a covered container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
