Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup sugar substitute, plus 2 tablespoons (recommended: Splenda)
- 1 teaspoon no sugar added vanilla extract
- 1/2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced (sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar substitute if not sweet)
- Fresh mint, for garnish
Instructions
- With an electric mixer on high, whip the heavy cream in a bowl just until frothy and add in the 1/3 cup sugar substitute and vanilla and continue to whip just a little more to blend; do not whip all the way to soft peaks yet. Put half of the partially whipped mixture into another bowl and finish whipping it on high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, or the cream will break. Set aside the vanilla cream.
- To the first bowl with the other half of the partially whipped cream mixture, add in the cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons more sugar substitute and finish whipping on high until stiff peaks form, again being careful not to over-whip. This is the chocolate cream.
- In each of 4 parfait glasses, layer a couple spoonfuls of chocolate cream, followed by some fresh strawberry slices, and top it with a couple spoonfuls of fresh vanilla cream. Chill completely before serving. Garnish with a strawberry fan and sprig of fresh mint.

This dessert was easy,quick and delicious! I made it with blackberries also for the carb count. I feel it could be better with less Splenda but great as written.
Oh my god did this satisfy my craving for something sweet, I was amazed that there were next to zero carbs. I did not have strawberries so I added a few blackberries to keep it low carb. This was also great with out fruit.
This is Good! I’ve been using different fruits, depending on what I have in the refridgerator. My husband rates this a ’10’ (and he knows I ask on a scale of 1-5)!!
I made this and it turned out wonderful! It tastes great! The only thing to get used to is the texture against the roof of your mouth. I guess it’s the milk solids from the cream, but it’s not at all bad.
I prefer the chocolate because, I guess, the chocolate cuts the sweetness from the Splenda. Unfortunately, I didn’t have strawberries-that would’ve been awesome!!
Would be great on top of your coffee too or sugar-free hot chocolate.
I wonder if you can freeze this in those plastic popsicle things?

Very easy to make and really delicious. For an extra treat, top with real whipped cream.
This recipe was easy to follow and quick. Slicing the strawberries took the longest :). I had my husband(who is thin) try one and he couldn’t tell it was low carb or diet food as he calls it. The chocolate part is very good. I will use that part of the recipe when I want a chocolate mousse.
Very Good!! For us that have a sweet tooth this is nice. Thank you for this recipe.
This was a really great dessert! It really hit the sweet spot for my low carb friends. Only suggestion: I add the splenda in gradually and tast frequently, you may want less.
This best dessert I ever tasted, and it was really simple too!
