Method

Tap a time to watch that step in the video.

  1. Microwave the chocolate for 15 seconds, add the butter and microwave 30 seconds more, then stir into a smooth, glossy mixture. Set aside to cool a little. 0:59
  2. Put the cold cream, cocoa powder and stevia in a chilled bowl and whip with a hand mixer until thick and fluffy. Taste and add more stevia if needed. 1:23
  3. Pour in the melted chocolate and whip again until it is all combined and holds soft peaks (add a pinch of salt here if you used unsalted butter). 1:51
  4. Spoon into 4 small bowls or glasses and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally a few hours, before serving cold. 2:14

Tip. For a mocha mousse, add a little espresso powder with the cocoa. Erythritol works instead of stevia: start with 1–2 spoonfuls and adjust to taste.

Vitamins & minerals % of a day, one serve · tap for more

Vitamin A High26%

231 µg a serve, mostly from whipping cream (89%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Iron Source12%

2.1 mg a serve, mostly from dark chocolate (89%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Magnesium Source11%

45 mg a serve, mostly from dark chocolate (78%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.

Zinc Source11%

1.2 mg a serve, mostly from dark chocolate (85%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.

Omega-3 Source10%

0.2 g a serve, mostly from whipping cream (92%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.

Show the other 10
Selenium5%

2.6 µg a serve, mostly from whipping cream (58%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

Calcium4%

46 mg a serve, mostly from whipping cream (71%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Vitamin E4%

0.6 mg a serve, mostly from whipping cream (79%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.

Vitamin B124%

0.1 µg a serve, mostly from whipping cream (94%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Potassium3%

160 mg a serve, mostly from dark chocolate (57%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.

Vitamin D2%

0.3 µg a serve, mostly from whipping cream (100%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.

Vitamin K2%

2.9 µg a serve, mostly from whipping cream (54%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.

Folate1%

5.6 µg a serve, mostly from dark chocolate (55%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Vitamin B61%

0 mg a serve, mostly from whipping cream (76%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Vitamin C0%

0.3 mg a serve, mostly from whipping cream (100%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
