Chocolate Mousse is a creamy, rich dessert made with just a few simple ingredients – chocolate, cream and butter. It’s soft, smooth, and just the right amount of sweet without being heavy. It is s a partial no-cook recipe as you need stove only for melting the chocolate. You only need to blend, whip, mix, and chill.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooking chocolate
  • ¼ cup cream
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  • Chop chocolate, measure it and keep aside. I used a combination of dark chocolate and milk chocolate.
  • Using double boiler method, melt the chocolate. Make sure the bowl containing chocolate should not touch the surface of boiling water directly. I used my tupperware steamer here .Keep melting until its smooth and silky. Set aside to cool down at least for 20 minutes.
  • Now take fresh cream in a bowl and start whipping with hand mixer. Whip till soft peaks form as shown. This is the right stage, don’t whip it more, then it will end up in butter.
  • Once the chocolate is cooled down completely, add whipped fresh cream to it. Whisk it well, first it may look little runny keep whisking for 2-3 minutes it will get thick, it will be spoonable not pourable.
  • Spoon the mixture into serving glasses. Chop some more chocolate and garnish with it. I had little crushed crushed oreo cookies so used that also for garnishing. Chill it at least for 3-4 hours.
  • Serve chilled!

Notes

  • Melting – Melt chocolate slowly using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts to avoid burning.
  • Cooling– Let the melted chocolate cool to room temperature before mixing. Hot chocolate can deflate the whipped cream.
  • Whipping– Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. This helps give the mousse structure and a fluffy finish.
  • Chilling– Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the mousse sets well and tastes even better.
