Keto Chocolate “Graveyard” Mousse Cups – Spooky Low Carb Dessert

About This Recipe

If you’re craving something indulgent, chocolatey, and a little spooky this Halloween, these Keto Chocolate Graveyard Mousse Cups are your new favorite low-carb dessert. Imagine layers of rich, sugar-free chocolate mousse topped with a crunchy “dirt” crumble made from keto cookies and finished with a playful chocolate tombstone. They look like something out of a haunted pâtisserie — yet they’re completely guilt-free and 100% keto-approved.

This recipe is perfect for Halloween parties, cozy fall evenings, or anytime you want to impress guests without sending their blood sugar through the roof. Each serving has only 3g net carbs, but the taste is so decadent no one will guess it’s low-carb. The texture is luxuriously smooth thanks to heavy cream and sugar-free dark chocolate, while the cookie topping gives that satisfying crunch that makes each bite a little more addictive.

Unlike most mousse recipes that take hours to chill or require egg yolks and tempering, this one comes together easily in under 30 minutes. You’ll only need a hand mixer, a few pantry staples, and a creative Halloween spirit. What makes this dessert so special is the balance between rich, velvety mousse and playful presentation — making it a centerpiece for any fall dessert table.

Whether you’re serving them in elegant glass cups or mini jars for portion control, these mousse cups scream festive indulgence. They’re also perfect for meal prep — make them a day in advance and chill overnight for an even creamier texture. For extra Halloween flair, you can add edible sugar-free bones, whipped cream ghosts, or little pumpkin toppers.

Best of all, these Keto Chocolate Graveyard Mousse Cups fit perfectly into your low-carb or keto lifestyle. They’re gluten-free, refined-sugar-free, and rely on wholesome ingredients that don’t compromise taste. So go ahead — dig your spoon into this graveyard of chocolatey goodness and enjoy a dessert that’s frightfully delicious but delightfully guilt-free. 🎃
