Cook Time: 10 min

Ingredients:

* 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
* 1 tablespoon cold water
* 2 tablespoon boiling water
* 1 cup of splenda or other sweetener
* 1/2 cup sugar free powdered cocoa
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup heavy whipping cream
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* Light dusting of sugarless cocoa powder

Preparation:
Chill a medium mixing bowl in the fridge.

Meanwhile, place the cold water in a small bowl. Sprinkle with gelatin and let stand 1 minute. Add boiling water and stir until gelatin is dissolved. Set aside.

In the chilled bowl, combine splenda or other sweetener, cocoa powder, salt, whipping cream and vanilla until roughly mixed. With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat mixture until it becomes stiff. Do not over-beat. Beat in the gelatin mixture just until combined.

Spoon chocolate mousse into decorative dessert dishes or martini glasses. Chill 1 to 2 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream lightly sweetened with splenda or other sweetener and a sprinkling of cocoa powder if desired.
