Description
This easy chocolate mousse recipe requires just 3 ingredients: chocolate, cream and sugar! Whip it up for a decadent no bake treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz (3/4 cup) quality semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup + 2/3 cup whipping cream, divided
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- For serving: 1/2 recipe Homemade Whipped Cream, chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chocolate in a heat proof bowl.
- In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of the whipping cream until it is 175°F (or hot to the touch, but not quite simmering; do not simmer or boil). Pour the heated cream over the chocolate chips and stir until the chocolate melts and is smooth and glossy.
- Meanwhile, attach the balloon whisk attachment to an electric mixer. Add 2/3 cup whipping cream and the powdered sugar to the bowl and whisk on medium speed until firm peaks form, about 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the melted chocolate into the whipped cream and whisk on medium speed until just combined.
- Spoon the mousse into small glasses. Refrigerate at least 2 hours; the best “set” texture is achieved after about 4 hours. If desired, top with homemade whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Store leftovers refrigerated for up to 5 days.
