I posted about this on this video but heads up folk, the discount code only seems to work if you're not using their subscription service (which everything on the site seems to try to push on you) and won't include free shipping because the cost before taxes and shipping will be lower than 50 if you're only selecting 5 items. Might be different and easier to manage on desktop but on mobile the merchant's shop makes the process a little frustrating.
BATTLE MOUSSE IS ON!!!! But can there really be a "loser" when you got yourself a fridge fulla mousse this week? (But really, i'm absolutely honored to be on your channel. Thank you sir!)
Because of this video I found you!!! And made your mouse😋😋😋 MERCY I NEEDED IT!! AND THEN OF COURSE, I WENT DOWN THE RABBIT TRAIL AND WATCHED AN HOUR PLUS OF YOUR VIDEOS!! THEY ARE ALL GREAT!
My friend had a yellow AMC AMX Hornet, she would let me drive. Fun times those days cruising around Franklin TN listening to Hank Williams Jr, Journey, Foreigner and many others. bringatrailer.com/listing/1977-amc-hornet-amx/
I'm so glad to see you posting regularly again! We all ADORE you! I have to remember that you aren't my personal friend and you don't know me because you are so sweet and warm that I feel part of the family. Anyway, not a massive chocolate person but these are so tempting!
Anyone who gives you a hard time for telling the truth about heavy cream just prefers to leave their head in the sand I guess. Keep telling us like it is!
True. In this neck of the woods my tub of 'Double Thick Heavy Cream' has 1.6 carbs of which sugars 1.6 carbs per 100 grams. I doubt our cows are much different to your cows. I still like keto friendly mousse so will NOT be stopping making it any time soon carbs or no carbs. T'is so delicious, I have just made a batch and added some chilli. Not enough to really taste but just enough to make you wonder what's in there.
The description of the gears being akin to those in a ‘73 Gremlin is spot on! I own this same mixer, and I can verify that it does not know “low speed” as a concept. You are hilarious, as usual!
Wes, you make me laugh and I love your videos. I don't know which quote I love more.... magic cows, clutch on a Gremlin, or sits on your tongue like butter! 😂 Love It and YOU!
Your "food gasams" are the Best! Love your enthusiasm & comments....from one Southerner to another. I didn't realize you are not living in the South now. Look forward to trying the cream cheese Mousse and dark chocolate SuperFat cookies in cream! I miss having a bowl of cereal every now and then.
Wes, I just so love you! I have that crappy hand mixer and you made me spit my water out laughing!!!🤣 (at how true what you said was). Love watching you and I always go make things after you inspire us!
Same! He’s talked about the demon mixer before and I always laugh and nod and wonder why we’re still struggling with it instead of just buying a new one when Macy’s or Target or wherever has a sale!
Thanks for the video! My 28th wedding anniversary is this weekend so I will be making Chef Michael's mousse for our celebration dinner! Enjoying the more frequent videos from you! :)
Omg Wes I died when you talked about heavy cream my daughter in law was drinking-lots of coffee with heavy cream couldn’t figure out why she wasn’t losing weight 🤣
@@jjudy5869 no. Our bodies don't use calories at all. They're lab created values, determined by burning foods to find their energy content. We don't burn our food when we digest it. We get energy from carbs, fat and protein, not calories.
@@trsdos80 yes you can, if you're not raising your insulin. The thing is, it is generally hard to eat that much energy in a LCHF way of eating because it's too much energy-- you'll be satiated long before you get there.
Two comments, Wes; 1st, when melting chocolate chips (which I do a lot) I use Medium setting on the microwave. Keeps it from seizing. 2nd, if you don't care for the taste of chocolate+cream cheese, use mascarpone cheese in place of the cr. cheese. No tang!
I’ve actually made both of these on my own. Chocolate whipped cream and sometimes with cream cheese. It’s really good made with lemon. Mmmmmm... I also do the lemon cream cheese/ whipped cream with blueberry sauce .
THANK YOU for explaining labeling laws and the "zero" carb thing. Most people don't know how deceptive labels are legally allowed to be. Great video and awesome helpful info. Keep up the great work!!!!!
Awesome, I like to use avocado as the base, use a food processor to make the avocado smooth, then add special dark chocolate powder, 1 Tbsp per avocado, 1 Tbsp of your favorite sugar substitute per avocado, and then add heavy whip cream as you like. (A touch of freeze dried coffee will help bring out the chocolate flavor.)
When I worked in a bakery, if we ever had chocolate seize, we would loosen it back up with solid shortening, 1 tbls per 8 ounces chocolate (for baking purposes), for drizzling, we would loosen it with boiling water, 1 tsp at a time and mixing very vigorously until it loosened. You of course wouldn't want to use the water if baking because it would affect the liquid in your recipe.
Wes, the face you made when you tasted Chef Michael's mousse is the same face I made the first time I made and tasted Pierre Franey's (NY Times, decades ago) version of chocolate mousse. I was done with puddings. A life-changing experience! Now I have to see how far off from keto compliant it actually is...or I will just make Michael's LOL. I need to make that face again! Thanks for another great battle.
When you tried that 1st recipe, I wanted to ask you if you needed a minute to yourself, lol. I love that you are so expressive in your videos. Your personality is a delight to watch.
I love chocolate mousse, but can't stop myself from eating the entire batch. I'm not very good at self-discipline, so I never make it. Your expressions always show me what I am missing. You're the best.
I have been making one like Chef Micheals but I use cocoa powder instead of chocolate chips but I going to try it his way next time. Thank you for trying out all these recipes. It helps to weed out the best recipes out there.
Thank you for saying that about the heavy cream and carbs! I feel like no one understands this! I use My Fitness Pal to track my food and it always counts 1 carb per tablespoon of HC. My family drinks lactose free milk and there's 13 grams of carbs per cup in that. Everyone seems to demonize milk, but HC can actually be just as bad when considering the carbs it has.
I had the same issue with the oat milk creamers. If you only use a tbls you are under, it says no carbs. But if you use a few a day, like I do in my coffee or drinks it will add up. Apparently oat milk makes its own carbs during the process used to make it.
Oh thank you for trying these out! I've looked at a lot of mousse recipes and always end up putting it off because I'm worried about wasting those expensive ingredients if it's not good. But the look on your face says it all! I will definitely be making Chef Michael's recipe. Luckily I watched your hidden carbs video early on in my keto journey and it helped me a lot!
Ooooo 😲 Guess what I’m having for dessert tonight! I’mma tellin ya it’s going to be sum of dat’ chocolate cheesecake mousse...got my Lilly’s chips n cream cheese all ready! Thanks, Wes for testing out all these recipes! And my dinner tonight is that awesome Meatloaf recipe from one of your earlier videos...it’s sooo good, even to this louisianian’s taste buds!
Wait...what?? Is there an old video with MEATLOAF I missed? That sounds like a winner. I’m gonna go back and find it. If it was a “bake off,” which one did you make? Edited to add: Just looked and I 👍 it some time in the past - probably when I first found the channel and was binge watching! Thanks for the reminder. I sort of remember thinking I really needed to go back and make that!
Lucinda...yeah, that one that has the bacon on top. I add more seasonings than called for, but it’s wonderful!! My husband loves it, too! If you do make it...instead of trying to make a loaf in plastic wrap and flipping it...I found it easier to just lay the bacon over one side of the pan (bottom edge of bacon touching inside bottom edge of pan) and let the rest of bacon hang over the outside edge. Pat your loaf into pan, then pull bacon over top and tuck down inside other side of loaf using a butter knife.
i have an old hand mixer I have had for close to 30 years i think. It's super lightweight and it's a little beast! It's still rockin and rollin and I love it!
Your face when you tasted the first one is what made me want to make it! I just finished putting them in the fridge for after dinner tonight. I can’t stop licking the bowl, so good! Does anyone know the macros ?
Can't wait to try Chef Michael's Salted Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse! I have his cookbook too - It's amazing!! You could also make mini cheesecakes with this mousse and use crushed SuperFat Double Chocolate Cookies (+melted butter) as the crust!! Cheers from Chicago!!
So cool. I've been making what I call 'pie' for decades & it's basically the 1st recipe. & yes - it is phenomenal stuff. I now use it as the base for an amazing chaffle recipe. *drool
You HAVE to do Maria Emmerich’s version. It uses BOILED EGGS! Sounds so crazy, but it’s delicious and no one would ever know. You do have to let it sit in the fridge overnight to allow all the “eggy” taste to go away. Love your channel!
Glad to see the KitchenAid over the hand beaters. I hate the hand beaters my mom always used. My first kitchen counter appliance 30+ years ago was a KA mixer. I am on my 2nd only bc I needed the larger capacity. I am saving my smaller version for one of my kiddos when they move out.
It was sort of a mix of both. LOL. It was not NEARLY as granulated as say, Swerve or Lakanto granulated erythritol, but it wasn’t “confectioner’s” powdered either. Somewhere in between. (It was the Besti brand by Wholesome Yum. No grainy texture at all in the final product, so it apparently dissolved.)
@@HighfalutinLowCarb thanks! I do have that besti brand I got a few weeks ago... it’s the confectioners. FYI I absolutely love your videos! Thanks and PLEASE never stop making them! You are the BEST
Omg, I think we saw you fall in love. Your face was priceless when you tried Chef Michaels. I currently have the cream cheese sitting out on the counter right now. May have to hurry it up with a quick zap in the microwave. Also - I’d like to thank your for sharing your journey with all of us, your humor, your insights and just being a genuine person that’s in the struggle along with the rest of us. I just ordered your cookbook (spiral - easier to follow along with) and my hubs and I can hardly wait to start going through it. Hope you, your hubby and your fur babies are finally settling in to your new place and can hardly wait to dig even deeper in your channel and I eagerly await all the new vids too 😉
Thank you for the information about Heavy Cream - I never knew that. I really like watching your videos and tests...your facial expressions just kill me...LOL .thank you.
Idk what it is but in this video you are looking awesome :) I love this channel so much and you are always entertaining and inspiring. I love your energy and what you do. I honestly look forward to each video you release. Love you!
Using cocoa powder with 3g of carbs per tbs rather than melted dark chocolate chips/sugar free chips with 8-9g of carbs per tbs seems like better choice. Obviously, you would need more sweetener, but you can cutback on the sweetener to control the carbs and customize to your liking.
That Salted Dark Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse ... Holy Moses that was D'lish! Unbelievably rich and satisfying. Thanks so much for featuring it and putting it on my radar, can't wait to share my first attempt with my husband (who has quite the sweet tooth and often complains about the lack of Keto options). You're amazing, thanks for all of the work you put into creating these videos for us!
Bahahaha! My mixer is the same! Who designs these things??? They've obviously never spent even one minute in the kitchen! Spot on with the heavy cream carb info. The look on your face with the first mouse though. . . . 🥺😳🤤 Going to find that recipe right now!
Your enjoyment of food, makes me wish we could cook together. Thank you for mentioning the carbs in HWC. We often don’t know we are sabotaging our weight loss efforts because of the US labeling laws. Also why I won’t be using Allulose, low carb but it throws me out of ketosis. Perhaps a hybrid recipe for me the 5 minute mouse with Lilly’s chocolate instead of cocoa.... thank you for testing and inspiring me to stay in a low carb lifestyle. Sift y’all.
I've made Michael's recipe about a half dozen times now. I've experimented with different flavored chips too. @ white chips, milk chocolate chips, and half white/half pumpkin spice chips. All were delicious. And so easy. I'd like to try peanut butter chips if I can find them. Thanks!!
me and my niece were just talking about wanting mousse. the 2nd one you made is pretty much how i make chocolate whipped cream minus the cinnamon. i don't know that i could eat a whole bowl of that.
Lmao...I was just watching your chocolate cake battle. 🎂 Had to pause to check out one of my favorite desserts. I just purchased Chef Michael's book. Can't wait to try some of these recipes.
I made Chef Michael’s recipe and poured it over a pre baked Sweet Almond crust and topped it with vanilla whipped cream dusted with cocoa powder. I was amazing! Thank you for the inspiration!!
Next comparisons similar to your recent pizza videos (because I've been thinking of this lol) should be ice cream, pasta and brownies! I'm getting so hungry lolol
Wes, you are a hoot! Would you consider another brownie battle? Compare Typically keto brownies made 2 years ago to gnom-gnom & alldayidreamaboutfood? Gnom-gnom only uses cocoa powder & you recognize how imortant a chocolate bar is. Thank you for considering.
Looks delicious & will be making chef Michaels! I don't understand why the packaging and content is so small on most keto/low carb/ sugarfree snack products.
I just made Chef Michael's version, but I cut it down to one-fourth of his recipe. No way would I trust myself with an adult dose of this! I even ordered the fancy-pants flaked salt! It's chilling for 30 minutes, and this Gramma is watching the clock!
your SuperFat cookie's and milk gave me an idea... the "idea" was what I thought you were going to do and say. How about making a cheese cake with a SuperFat cookie crust!

Ha! I’ve now got a DOUBLE fridge full of mousse! LOL Thanks for being a good sport, and for a fantastic recipe!
This recipe is seriously fantastic Chef Michael!
This mousse is sooooo good! I'm making my second batch today!
Made a double batch of your mousse! My entire family LOVED it!
Because of this video I found you!!! And made your mouse😋😋😋 MERCY I NEEDED IT!! AND THEN OF COURSE, I WENT DOWN THE RABBIT TRAIL AND WATCHED AN HOUR PLUS OF YOUR VIDEOS!! THEY ARE ALL GREAT!
I was about 1 minute in to this video and I went and took my cream cheese out of the fridge lol.
Haha! Now you’re talking! 😜
Same here
Lololololol love it
I have made this it is amazing!!

LOL - "A clutch in it like a 1973 Gremlin" I'm dying! You brought back flash backs of my childhood. My mom had a AMC Gremlin when I was a kid.

"There are no magic cows."

How about "Holy cow!"??😉
Pro Tip: add a scoop of PB Fit to your chocolate mousse and you will instantly be in heaven(if you like peanut butter pie)

@@TracyKMainwaring This is not entirely true. You can not eat 5000 calories per day of a very low carb diet, and not gain wait.
@@trsdos80 yes you can, if you're not raising your insulin. The thing is, it is generally hard to eat that much energy in a LCHF way of eating because it's too much energy-- you'll be satiated long before you get there.

Thank you for the tip!
I started keto last week, and found your videos a few days ago... you are an absolute joy to watch. Xx.
Lucky girl to find him early on!
I'm new to your channel. Just tried this. It was good BUT it was even BETTER FROZEN. Like a Gelato! Yum! Thank you!

Lucinda...yeah, that one that has the bacon on top. I add more seasonings than called for, but it’s wonderful!! My husband loves it, too! If you do make it...instead of trying to make a loaf in plastic wrap and flipping it...I found it easier to just lay the bacon over one side of the pan (bottom edge of bacon touching inside bottom edge of pan) and let the rest of bacon hang over the outside edge. Pat your loaf into pan, then pull bacon over top and tuck down inside other side of loaf using a butter knife.
i have an old hand mixer I have had for close to 30 years i think. It's super lightweight and it's a little beast! It's still rockin and rollin and I love it!
I love that you do this! I love that you are making other people's recipes! It's always a whole different game making someone else's recipe!
Your face when you tasted the first one is what made me want to make it! I just finished putting them in the fridge for after dinner tonight. I can’t stop licking the bowl, so good! Does anyone know the macros ?
I’m sure this video is going to be epic... Wes always comes through. Love from 🇬🇧
Can't wait to try Chef Michael's Salted Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse! I have his cookbook too - It's amazing!! You could also make mini cheesecakes with this mousse and use crushed SuperFat Double Chocolate Cookies (+melted butter) as the crust!! Cheers from Chicago!!
Enjoyed the video. Your personality is great. Not only are these informative but you are entertaining. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks so much, Kyle! I appreciate the comment and the kind words. (Haha! Awesome screen name... took me a second.)
@@HighfalutinLowCarb Actually that's my real name. Sadly I get related to a crybaby space guy now. lol
Haha! Well, that’s an awesome name! (My neighbors growing up were two boys named Robin and Wren... I suppose their parents were bird lovers. LOL)
So cool. I've been making what I call 'pie' for decades & it's basically the 1st recipe. & yes - it is phenomenal stuff. I now use it as the base for an amazing chaffle recipe. *drool
Ooh, I'm interested in your chaffle recipe, can you share?
I just made this in a white chocolate version. Wow, it is decadent and special while still being simple. Thank you Wes!
You HAVE to do Maria Emmerich’s version. It uses BOILED EGGS! Sounds so crazy, but it’s delicious and no one would ever know. You do have to let it sit in the fridge overnight to allow all the “eggy” taste to go away. Love your channel!
Glad to see the KitchenAid over the hand beaters. I hate the hand beaters my mom always used. My first kitchen counter appliance 30+ years ago was a KA mixer. I am on my 2nd only bc I needed the larger capacity. I am saving my smaller version for one of my kiddos when they move out.
I can’t wait to try this with white chocolate choczero chips.. I’m so addicted to them!
The allulose... was it granular or powdered?
It was sort of a mix of both. LOL. It was not NEARLY as granulated as say, Swerve or Lakanto granulated erythritol, but it wasn’t “confectioner’s” powdered either. Somewhere in between. (It was the Besti brand by Wholesome Yum. No grainy texture at all in the final product, so it apparently dissolved.)
@@HighfalutinLowCarb thanks! I do have that besti brand I got a few weeks ago... it’s the confectioners. FYI I absolutely love your videos! Thanks and PLEASE never stop making them! You are the BEST
I think you need to be alone with your mousse! LOL
I'll have to try this...
You are such a hoot! Not only are you super entertaining and you provide lots of good info, thank you so much!
I would bump up the sweetness with liquid splenda on allulose but I have a sweet tooth.
Omg, I think we saw you fall in love. Your face was priceless when you tried Chef Michaels. I currently have the cream cheese sitting out on the counter right now. May have to hurry it up with a quick zap in the microwave. Also - I’d like to thank your for sharing your journey with all of us, your humor, your insights and just being a genuine person that’s in the struggle along with the rest of us. I just ordered your cookbook (spiral - easier to follow along with) and my hubs and I can hardly wait to start going through it. Hope you, your hubby and your fur babies are finally settling in to your new place and can hardly wait to dig even deeper in your channel and I eagerly await all the new vids too 😉
*This Keto dessert has the potential to be my favorite one. Can't wait to make it* 🤤
In South Africa it does show there is carbs in heavy cream. So I agree with you.
Thank you for the information about Heavy Cream - I never knew that. I really like watching your videos and tests...your facial expressions just kill me...LOL .thank you.
Nice one! You need to try mine too. I'm positive you'll love it 🙂
I did the 5 min recipe but added some sea salt and vanilla extract and it came out pretty good for an easy recipe.
This is the one of the few times I have all the ingredients for a recipe. We're going to have a nice dessert tonight. Thank you for the video Wes!
I just ordered his cookbook. I am making this recipe this weekend! Love your channel!
Idk what it is but in this video you are looking awesome :) I love this channel so much and you are always entertaining and inspiring. I love your energy and what you do. I honestly look forward to each video you release. Love you!
Using cocoa powder with 3g of carbs per tbs rather than melted dark chocolate chips/sugar free chips with 8-9g of carbs per tbs seems like better choice. Obviously, you would need more sweetener, but you can cutback on the sweetener to control the carbs and customize to your liking.
You can save seized chocolate by adding unmelted chocolate in small increments and stirring. A small amount should suffice.
That Salted Dark Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse ... Holy Moses that was D'lish! Unbelievably rich and satisfying. Thanks so much for featuring it and putting it on my radar, can't wait to share my first attempt with my husband (who has quite the sweet tooth and often complains about the lack of Keto options). You're amazing, thanks for all of the work you put into creating these videos for us!
The food science lady on Good Eats told told Alton to add some some water and warm gently.
Thank you Wes for another great recipe demonstration
Bahahaha! My mixer is the same! Who designs these things??? They've obviously never spent even one minute in the kitchen!
Spot on with the heavy cream carb info.
The look on your face with the first mouse though. . . . 🥺😳🤤
Going to find that recipe right now!
I missed your macro breakdown on the recipes being compared. Thank you for sharing, though!
Your enjoyment of food, makes me wish we could cook together. Thank you for mentioning the carbs in HWC. We often don’t know we are sabotaging our weight loss efforts because of the US labeling laws. Also why I won’t be using Allulose, low carb but it throws me out of ketosis. Perhaps a hybrid recipe for me the 5 minute mouse with Lilly’s chocolate instead of cocoa.... thank you for testing and inspiring me to stay in a low carb lifestyle. Sift y’all.
I've made Michael's recipe about a half dozen times now. I've experimented with different flavored chips too. @ white chips, milk chocolate chips, and half white/half pumpkin spice chips. All were delicious. And so easy. I'd like to try peanut butter chips if I can find them. Thanks!!
I appreciate the way you always deliver honest opinions tactfully.
me and my niece were just talking about wanting mousse. the 2nd one you made is pretty much how i make chocolate whipped cream minus the cinnamon. i don't know that i could eat a whole bowl of that.
Made Chef Michael's chocolate mousse tonight with 85% chocolate and it was bit bitter but still delicious. Will definitely make again.
Loved your rendition of our comment voices. Pretty sure it was a perfect replica of my aunt Margaret.
I made Michael's moose recipe on Valentine's day. It day so rich and amazing.
Look forward to trying these!!!!
So, my dear.......the ball cap?....... ;)
Bad hair day! LOL
@@HighfalutinLowCarb LOL!!! At least you have enough hair to have a bad day with!! XD
Wesley, you are hilarious! I swear I would watch you even if you abandoned keto & started producing carb loaded recipe videos.
You need a kitchen-aid 9 speed hand mixer awesome
I DO! I *alllmost* got it instead of the Cuisinart. We see how that worked out! 😺
@@HighfalutinLowCarb I call the first speed walker mode. It’s awesome
Lmao...I was just watching your chocolate cake battle. 🎂 Had to pause to check out one of my favorite desserts.
I just purchased Chef Michael's book. Can't wait to try some of these recipes.
I watched that video this morning lol! I think a sweet treat is in my future 😂
@@my24soccer I agree with you!!!
I made Chef Michael’s recipe and poured it over a pre baked Sweet Almond crust and topped it with vanilla whipped cream dusted with cocoa powder. I was amazing! Thank you for the inspiration!!
I wonder if the seized chocolate could be spread thin and rolled, I think that's how twirl chocolate is made and it's very good.
Next comparisons similar to your recent pizza videos (because I've been thinking of this lol) should be ice cream, pasta and brownies! I'm getting so hungry lolol
What an adorable dog in your pic!
@@Lucinda_Jackson Ty! Yours too!!
@@DABOSTONBETTY
Thanks!
Wes, you are a hoot! Would you consider another brownie battle? Compare Typically keto brownies made 2 years ago to gnom-gnom & alldayidreamaboutfood? Gnom-gnom only uses cocoa powder & you recognize how imortant a chocolate bar is. Thank you for considering.
"A clutch like a 1973 Gremlin." I'm dead. DEAD! Also, those look so deliciously simple! Thanks!
‘A clutch like a 1973 Gremlin’Wes is a natural with words and he is hilarious , if he did an Europe cooking tour, I sure would buy tickets. 😃
I turn on your video just to hear you say “Y’all come on!”
Oh my word, that looks amazing. While on the topic of hwc, I need you to do a public service announcement about the sugar free syrups at Starbucks :P
Looks delicious & will be making chef Michaels! I don't understand why the packaging and content is so small on most keto/low carb/ sugarfree snack products.
Love your page and your recipes--you rock, HLC!!
I just made Chef Michael's version, but I cut it down to one-fourth of his recipe. No way would I trust myself with an adult dose of this! I even ordered the fancy-pants flaked salt! It's chilling for 30 minutes, and this Gramma is watching the clock!
When you blew on the spoon of mousse! 😂😂 sooooooo something I would do!
😜
your SuperFat cookie's and milk gave me an idea... the "idea" was what I thought you were going to do and say. How about making a cheese cake with a SuperFat cookie crust!
You need a kitchen aid 9 speed. It has walker mode.
Now i want to make a "cheesecake" where I bake an almond crust and then do the salted chocolate mousse on top...
I have the same hand mixer and I know exactly what you are talking about 😅
I had a 1973 Gremlin - I burst out laughing when you said that :)
