Stevia Sugar Free Chocolate Mousse

Chrystabel's Note:

Stevia is a natural sweetner and so potent. This dessert is sugar, aspartame, nutrasweet, and egg free and something I can serve my kids without a bad conscience. My mom sent me the recipe and we just tried it. Very rich. Be careful with the amount of stevia because a little goes a long way. Next time I make it I will use less stevia to avoid an aftertaste.

I used Nu-Stevia with the bitterness removed and it was great, no after taste

I followed the directions on this and even when I added more stevia it was super bitter sweet. I think it calls for too much cocoa powder or something. It wasn't something I want to eat ever again.

This is a great recipe, easy to make! I substituted Carob powder for the Cocoa and added a little too much stevia but it was easy to correct by simply adding more heavy whipping cream. Turned out delicious! Makes a great frosting too.
