Revision for recipe gone bad

I made some keto chocolate mousse. Easy ingredients cream cheese softened, cocoa, heavy whipping cream and a sweetener of your choice.

I made it a couple of times and it turned out beautifully. Fluffy and creamy. I didn’t allow the cream cheese to get room temp and when all ingredients were mixed together I allowed it to be more marbled, in other words the chocolate wasn’t fully incorporated.

A couple of weeks ago I made another batch and this time allowed the cream cheese to go to room temp. Added to stand mixer, whipped it up, added the heavy whipping cream, and chocolate, with a small amount of granulated sugar. Not sure what went wrong but it never whipped up and is extremely liquidity in its current state.

Do you think I could use it in a pound cake recipe?


I wanted to try it out the other day but chickened out because of being afraid it would be a flop and ingredients can be expensive.

I’ve been making this pound cake

* 1 1/2 C Butter 3 sticks
* 2 1/2 C Sugar (I only use 2 C)
* 5 eggs
* 1 14 C Buttermilk (I make mine with vinegar and milk)
3 C Flour
3/4 C Cocoa Powder (I use Hershey Special Dark)
1 t Baking Powder
1 t Vanilla
Salt

Preheat Oven to 350🔥

Cream butter, sugar, eggs (1 at a time), vanilla
Add shifted dry ingredients alternating with the milk.

Add to greased and floured pan. Bake for about an hour.

* indicates room temperature for ingredients

I’ve also been added spices as well 🤭

TIA

1. I'd reheat it and add tapioca powder, maybe a table spoon that's been warmed and disolved. Not much informed on Keto ...

... but it should work,

2. Thx for the tip

I’m not on keto diet, but was looking for a quick recipe and this popped up. It’s really good. I just kinda made up my own version. And in under 10 minutes I really liked that.

I’m thinking that having the cream cheese at room temp perhaps played a role in the failure.

I’ll definitely give it another go in the future.
