This keto mousse recipe is for my red velvet lovers out there.
Red velvet has always been my favorite dessert. I have never met a piece of red velvet cake I didn't like!
Of course, like with any other dessert, I thought when I went low carb I would never be able to enjoy it again. But, when you are craving something like crazy you find a way to make it happen!
Regular mousse recipes contain a ton of sugar so of course, are not keto-friendly.
When I first started living la Vida low carb I only used Swerve, and yes that can be a good choice as a sugar replacement for some people, but I am one of those folks that is really put off by the cooling effect it tends to have on your taste buds.
Then I discovered Wholesome Yum Food's sugar replacements and a whole new world opened up for me!
Now I have a laundry list of desserts I want to make low-carb versions of! Red velvet cake is at the top of that list.
I decided to go with a mousse right now because, well because I love no-bake recipes. I wanted a dessert but didn't want to put a ton of time into making it.
Plus hubs asked for pudding so this kind of fits that bill, right?
I was happy and he was not disappointed so that is a win/win in my book. Heck, anytime my non-keto family loves a recipe I am pretty much on cloud nine!

Last thoughts about Keto Red Velvet Mousse
You know I always aim to bring you recipes that are easy to make.
Oh, I have a few that take a little bit more work than the norm, but that is just because they are so tasty I have to bring them to you!
This recipe falls into the easy category, which makes us both happy, right?
I mean, I really think the hardest thing about this recipe is not wanting to consume the entire thing by yourself!
I also wanted to say that traditionally red velvet is made with cocoa powder so it is a darker richer chocolate. I made this with white chocolate to highlight the red for Valentine's Day, but you can make this with Lily's milk chocolate if you prefer.
Either way is fantastic.
