If you're following a carnivore diet and craving a decadent dessert that fits your macros, this Carnivore Cheese and Chocolate Mousse (Thermomix) is your next must-try recipe. Perfectly creamy, rich in flavor, and remarkably low in carbs, this treat is not only keto-friendly but also crafted to suit the strict principles of the carnivore lifestyle.

Desserts are often the Achilles’ heel for anyone on a low-carb or zero-carb lifestyle, but this Carnivore Cheese and Chocolate Mousse breaks all the rules—in the best way possible. Made from high-fat, animal-based ingredients and just a touch of sweetener for flavor, it provides a satisfying alternative to traditional sugar-laden sweets without compromising your dietary goals.
To make this indulgent carnivore-friendly mousse, gather the following ingredients:
225 g full-fat cream cheese (room temperature)
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (high-quality, low-additive)
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1-2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or your preferred low-carb sweetener
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Pinch of salt
30 g 90% dark chocolate (optional, for added richness)
These ingredients are rich in fat and flavor, aligning perfectly with ketogenic and carnivore principles, while maintaining the silky texture of a traditional mousse.
Start by softening the cream cheese. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to ensure a lump-free, smooth texture. Once softened:
Add the cream cheese, cocoa powder, heavy cream, erythritol, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt into the Thermomix bowl.
Mix for 30 seconds at speed 5 until smooth and creamy.
This creates the mousse’s foundational texture, infused with a subtle chocolatey taste that’s both luxurious and balanced.
If you’re opting for the extra chocolate richness, do the following:
Break the 90% dark chocolate into small chunks and place in the Thermomix bowl.
Melt for 2 minutes at 50°C, speed 2 until smooth and velvety.
Let it cool slightly—this step is critical to prevent curdling when combining it with the cream cheese base.
Now bring it all together:
Add the melted chocolate into the mousse base.
Mix for 20 seconds on speed 3, until the mixture is well-blended.
This step enhances the depth and richness of the mousse, making it a truly satisfying carnivore dessert that doesn’t feel like a compromise.
This mousse is customizable to your sweetness preference:
Taste test the mixture before chilling.
Adjust the sweetener—add more erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit for added sweetness if desired.
The focus is on clean, bold flavors—perfect for anyone who loves chocolate without the sugar crash.
Time to finish strong:
Spoon the mousse into small cups or ramekins.
Chill in the fridge for 1–2 hours, allowing the mousse to firm up and reach peak creaminess.
Before serving, you can garnish with:
A dusting of unsweetened cocoa powder
A few dark chocolate shavings
A pinch of flaky sea salt
Each bite is velvety, smooth, and absolutely guilt-free.
Avoid low-fat substitutes. Full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream are essential for the proper texture and staying in ketosis.
Look for unsweetened cocoa powder with no additives. The quality makes a huge difference in taste.
For those who like a lighter mousse, fold in freshly whipped cream before chilling. This also gives the dessert an airy, cloud-like consistency.
Try adding:
A dash of cinnamon for a spicy twist
A drop of espresso or brewed coffee for mocha vibes
A splash of rum or bourbon extract for a deeper, complex profile
Each variation complements the base without introducing unwanted carbs.
