Pots De Creme – French chocolate Mousse

Sometimes a girl just needs chocolate!

And if that’s you, then you can’t go wrong with this recipe.  So what is a Pots De Creme anyway, you might ask?

…Only one of the most tastiest, decadent, rich and silky smooth French desserts you’ll find.

And guess what?….This ones KETO!

The only way I can describe a Pots De Creme is an extra creamy, thick chocolate mousse.  I love chocolate mousse, and have tried A LOT of recipes on the internet, some were bad, and some were pretty good, but I thought I could improve on the taste and texture by combining the BEST attributes from several recipes to come up with this AMAZING, FOOL-PROOF dessert.

And the best part about this recipe, besides the taste, is that it can be made and put in the fridge to chill in under 15 minutes.

Like with most recipes, especially the simple ones like this, the better the ingredients, the better the flavor.  We used Ghiradelli Cacao and Cocoa in this, but you can use a cheaper brand like Bakers.  Again, same with the butter, we use Kerrygold Grass fed salted, but you can use any butter, as long as it’s real butter and not margarine or a butter blend.

If you’re adventurous, you can even change it up a bit by adding a drop of Vitality 100%(Edible Grade) Peppermint Oil, to give it that Andes After Dinner Mint taste.   You could even use a drop of Vitality 100% (Edible Grade) Orange Oil, to give it a sophisticated Choc-Orange  or Jaffa flavor as the English and Aussies would call it.

Top it with a little bit of Whipped Cream and a Berry of some sort, and you have yourself a little piece of heaven.

By the way, the portion size in the top photo is a DATE NIGHT served for 2 portion.  But it is very rich, so you’ll be perfectly satisfied with the regular portion size.
