The Easiest Chocolate Mousse in the World
For the chocolate mousse:
- 100 grams dark chocolate
- 250 ml. (1 cup) very cold whipping cream (see notes for dairy-free version)
For decoration (optional):
- Cocoa nibs
- Chocolate sprinkles
- Chopped chocolate
- Chop the chocolate and put in a bowl.
- Dissolve in the microwave in pulses or over double-boiler until fully melted and shiny and there are no lumps of chocolate.
- In a mixer bowl, whip the cream into a very firm and stable whipped cream.
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of whipped cream into the melted chocolate and mix well into a uniform mixture.
- Add the chocolate mixture to the rest of the whipped cream and fold gently until you get a texture of mousse.
- Transfer the mousse to a piping bag fitted with 2 cm serrated piping tip and drizzle into glasses.
- Garnish and serve.
- The mousse can be served as soon as it is ready.
- You can keep the mousse wrapped in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- You can freeze the prepared mousse for up to a month.
- The recipe can also be prepared with milk or white chocolate in the same amount instead of dark chocolate. The taste of course will change accordingly.
- You can decorate the mousse with everything you like – chopped nuts, Funfetti and so on.
- Dairy free version: use cold coconut cream (harden part only) instead of the whipping cream in the same amount.
