To Sweeten the Deal…
In our field, desserts are king. Most low carb dieters’ first Google searches are usually in the sweet realm. “How do I make low carb cake/cookies/brownies?” etc. When you start to cut out sugar, cravings will quickly follow. So it’s no wonder whenever we publish a new dessert recipe on Tasteaholics, people go crazy for it!
When we started our 5 ingredient/5 net carb cookbook series, Keto in Five, we chose to begin with Dinner in Five, as dinner is usually the meal you eat at home most often and requires a fair amount of cooking. After realizing people love easy to follow, ultra low carb recipes, we branched out into the other courses. We worked our way through Breakfast in Five and Lunch in Five and then finally got started on dessert – the pièce de résistance!
After months of baking furiously in the kitchen, the highly requested, Dessert in Five is finally here and available for purchase on TryLowCarb.com! You’ll find 30 mouth watering, sugar-free & low carb dessert recipes that can all be made using only 5 ingredients. To sweeten the deal, each dessert comes in at up to 5 grams of net carbs!

Dessert in Five was hands down, the hardest book we’ve ever made. And we’ve made a 100-recipe cookbook on spiralized recipes alone! With Dessert in Five, more recipes than not had to be remade, reshot and retested to ensure the proper taste, texture and look we were going for. We think we included a good mix of fan favorites like sugar-free Nutella, ice cream, and cakes and unique twists on fancier desserts like creme brulees, mousses, puddings, fudge and nut clusters… but that’s for you to decide!
As always, we love sharing one or two recipes from our books on Tasteaholics.com for everyone to enjoy. The cover photo for this book was one of our favorite recipes, as well as one of the richest. Be warned, this dessert is heavy! We made 2 servings from these amounts, but you can easily split a serving amongst yourself and a friend or spouse.
We hope you enjoy this Double Chocolate Mousse as much as we did!
If you loved this recipe, try this low carb chocolate mousse from Butter Together Kitchen. Just like our recipe, this mousse is rich, creamy and requires only a few ingredients to make!

- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- Melt the chocolate chips on very low heat in a pan with ¼ cup of heavy cream.

Hi Vicky! Greetings to ya from Nova Scotia, Canada! 🙂 May I ask if I could use your chocolate bar recipe to make all recipes where it calls for Lily’s unsweetened chocolate? Unfortunately, I cannot get this locally here, but I have Camino Unsweetened 100% cacao bar (just got today) and was hoping I could use it for example, in your chocolate mousse recipe so long as I make your homemade bar first! :))
I’m so stoked that I found your site. It is truly a work of heart and a work of art!
Most sincerely,
Keto Queen Mary (haha)
You can definitely use that, just know that you’ll have to add more sweetener since you’re using a completely unsweetened product. Lily’s is a candy-like product and plenty sweet on its own.
Hi again Vicky! I thought your candy bar recipe was sweetened. I better take another look. 🙂 TY for your reply!
Ok, Gotcha! 🙂 You said the keyword “more†sweetener. Well hun, I’m gonna be using your low carb chocolate bar in that little mug cake too. Haha! Big hugs and thank you again Vicky!
Hi… I bought the book but it doesnt seem like there is two types of chocolate. Do you put the melted chocolate into the cream cheese?
Yes, right in step 3 🙂
