🔥 Tips
-
Chocolate mousse: Use chocolate protein powder and add 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder.
-
Coffee-flavored: Add 1 tsp instant espresso powder with the protein powder.
-
Texture hack: Chill heavy cream before whipping for extra fluffiness.
-
Can double the recipe for meal prep; keeps up to 2–3 days in fridge.
If you want, I can also give you a microwave 2-minute single-serve version that sets into mousse instantly—super fast for keto cravings.
