You'll want to keep a supply of heavy cream, gelatin, and cocoa in stock as this easy low carb sugar free chocolate mousse is much better than any boxed mix.

Notes

The original recipe used one packet of gelatin which is about 2.25 to 2.5 teaspoons of gelatin or about ¼ ounce. However, you can use anywhere from 1 to 2.5 teaspoons of gelatin depending how stiff you want the mousse. 
For those who have been on low carb for a while, ¼ cup sweetener will likely be too much. So adjust this as needed. I prefer to use about 2 tablespoons.
