I'm so new to this group I don't know the protocol. Also, I'm starting to

sound like a sales person for Fran McCullough but honest I don't know her and

just had to look up her name again as I type this--I guess I'm just so

excited about finding a recipe book that has good recipes and they support

what I'm trying to do--okay

Chocolate Mousse from the Low Carb Cookbook by Fran McCullough

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

6 packets Equal

Minced zest of 1 orange or 1 teaspon of Kahlua (I opted for the Kahlua myself)

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (she recommends Saco brand for low carbs)

Per serving:

Protein 1.8 grams, fat 33grams, carbs 3.7 grams

Beat the cream in an electric mixer or by hand until it begins to get thick,

then add the Equal a packet at a time. Add the orange zest (or Kahlua),

vanilla, and cocoa powder and beat until almost stiff. Turn off the mixer

and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Mix again. Divide the

mousse among the 4 ramekins or small dessert dishes, cover and refrigerate

for 1/2 hour or up to 4 hrs.

I ate one a day for 4 days and it was still good on the 4th day. And it

helped me to get over the chocolate cravings with just a small carb count and

no sugar.

Hi Heidi

Glad you made it through the hurricane okay this time. I think I did post it

but just in case it didn't make it to you, here it is--

Chocolate Mousse from Fran McCullough's Low-Carb Cookbook

Serves 4

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

6 packets Equal

Minced zest of 1 orange (or 1 tsp of Kahlua)--I used the Kahlua

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (she recommends Saco because it supposedly

has lower carbs--I couldn't find it here in the hinterlands)

Beat the cream in an electric mixer or by hand until it begins to get thick,

then add the Equal a packet at a time. Add the orange zest or Kahlua,

vanilla and cocoa powder and beat until almost stiff. Turn off the mixer and

scrape down the sides and bottom fo the bowl. Mix again. Divide the mousse

among 4 ramekins or small dessert dishes, cover, and refrigerate for 1/2 hr

or up to 4 hrs.

Per serving:

protein 1.8 g, fat 33g, carb 3.7 grams (with saco brand cocoa--I had to add 2

grams to accomodate my cocoa so it was 5.7 grams)

Enjoy fellow chocoholic,
