I can't believe it's low carb chocolate mousse

This recipe is not quick, but it is an indulgent dessert that will definitely have you asking yourself how could this possibly be keto?

 Ingredients: 
4 large egg yolks 
1/4 cup Swerve sugar substitute +another 2T. In the whipped cream 
2 cups heavy cream 
8 ounces (90%) or darker chocolate or Lilys chocolate chips (90% chocolate will have some sugar in it, Lily's chocolate chips are stevia sweetened)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
Apx 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar 
1/2 teaspoon espresso powder 

Directions 
1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, 1/4 cup Swerve, and 3/4 cup heavy cream, vanilla and chocolate. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until mixture coats back of spoon, 3 to 4 minutes (do not boil). Remove from heat. Put into a bowl; chill until cool. (use plastic wrap over the top to avoid "skin" from forming).

2. With an electric mixer, beat remaining 1 1/4 cups heavy cream with remaining 2 tablespoons swerve, espresso powder, and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into chocolate mixture with a rubber spatula. 

3. Spoon into serving dishes; chill, covered, at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
