Here’s a quick, rich chocolate mousse—smooth, airy, and no complicated steps.
🍫🍮 Easy Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients
- 200g dark chocolate (or semi-sweet)
- 1 cup heavy cream (chilled)
- 2 tbsp sugar (optional, depending on chocolate sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
👨🍳 Method
1. Melt chocolate
- Break chocolate into pieces
- Melt using microwave (30-sec bursts) or double boiler
- Let it cool slightly (not hot)
2. Whip cream
- Whip chilled cream until soft peaks form
- Add sugar + vanilla while whipping
3. Combine
- Gently fold melted chocolate into whipped cream
- Mix slowly to keep it airy
4. Chill
- Spoon into cups
- Refrigerate 2–3 hours until set
🔑 Tips
- Don’t mix chocolate when it’s hot → it will deflate the mousse
- Fold gently, don’t stir aggressively
- Chill well for best texture
🍓 Easy upgrades
- Top with berries or bananas
- Add crushed biscuits for crunch
- Sprinkle sea salt for a gourmet touch
- Add espresso powder for deeper chocolate flavor
If you want, I can give you a 3-ingredient mousse, a no-cream version (lighter), or a protein chocolate mousse.
