## Ingredients & Their Roles

### 1 cup heavy whipping cream

The foundation of the mousse. Whipped cream provides volume, richness, and the light, airy texture that makes mousse so irresistible.

### 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Adds intense chocolate flavor without added sugar or significant carbohydrates.

### 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener

Provides sweetness while keeping the dessert keto-friendly. Powdered sweeteners blend more smoothly than granulated versions.

### ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Enhances the chocolate flavor and adds depth.

### Pinch of salt

Balances sweetness and intensifies the chocolate notes.
