Carnivore Chocolate Mousse Recipe

🥩 Carnivore Chocolate Mousse Recipe

✅ Ingredients (Serves 2–3):

• 4 large egg yolks (pasture-raised preferred)

• ½ cup beef tallow, duck fat, or unsalted butter (softened but not melted)

• 2 tbsp collagen powder (optional, for protein boost & texture)

• 1–2 tbsp cocoa powder (technically a plant, but tolerated by many carnivore dieters)

• 1–2 tbsp raw honey or stevia/monk fruit (optional – skip for strict carnivore)

• Pinch of salt

• ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

🥛 Optional additions:

• ¼ cup whipped heavy cream or whipped egg white for a lighter mousse texture

• Shaved raw cacao or 100% chocolate for garnish (if tolerated)

🥄 Instructions:

1. Whip egg yolks
   In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to whip the yolks for 2–3 minutes until creamy and pale.

2. Add fat
   Slowly add the softened butter, tallow, or duck fat while whipping. The mixture should become thick and smooth.

3. Mix in flavor
   Add cocoa powder, sweetener (if using), salt, vanilla, and collagen powder. Mix until fully combined and fluffy.

4. Optional: Fold in cream or whipped egg white
   This lightens the mousse. Use a spatula and fold gently.

5. Chill
   Transfer into ramekins or small jars. Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours until firm.

6. Serve
   Garnish (optional) and enjoy!

🧊 Storage:

Keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days. Can also be frozen and thawed slowly in the fridge.

🥩 Carnivore Compliance Notes:

• Strict Carnivore: Skip cocoa and sweeteners; use whipped tallow + egg yolks + salt for a savory mousse.

• Relaxed Carnivore: Cocoa, vanilla, and minimal sweetener are generally tolerated.
