Chop the dark chocolate finely and place in a small heat proof bowl, set aside
Place ½ cup of pure cream in a small saucepan and heat until just before simmering point
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and allow to sit for 1-2 minutes. Stir to combine and ensure all the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool down
Allow the chocolate mixture to cool to room temperature, but still soft and stirrable
Once the chcocolate mixture is cooled, place the cream cheese in a large bowl and beat with electric beaters for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, until it is smooth
Add the powdered sweetener and vanilla and beat again until it is all smooth and combined
Next add the remaining cup of pure cream and beat together until the mixture is smooth and has thickened, but is not quite soft peaks yet
Stir the chocolate mixture together again and add ⅓ of the chocolate mixture to the cream mixture and beat for 30 seconds to 1 minute until it is smooth and combined
Then add the remaining chocolate mixture and beat for about a minute, until completely smooth. Just be careful as you don't want to overbeat the mixture as it can split
The chocolate mousse mixture is now ready. You can eat it as is, or place it in the fridge to firm up. At this point you could divide into serving dishes to set in the fridge or even use a piping bag to pipe the mousse into glasses, then set
We like to serve the keto chocolate mousse with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and fresh berries
