Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Hand whisk or electric mixer
  • Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler
  • Spatula
  • Serving Glasses or Bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup good quality chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

  • Measure out 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream.
  • Set them on your countertop so everything is ready to go.
  • Pro tip: Having everything measured beforehand makes the process smooth and stress-free.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate

  • Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
  • Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted.
  • Pro tip: Whisk continuously as it melts to prevent lumps and ensure a silky texture.
  • Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate over a double boiler on low heat.

Step 3: Whip the Cream

  • Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl.
  • Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  • Pro tip: Don’t over-whip. Stop once the cream holds peaks but is still smooth—over-whipping can make it grainy.

Step 4: Fold in the Chocolate

  • Let the melted chocolate cool slightly for a minute or two so it’s warm but not hot.
  • Gently fold the chocolate into the whipped cream using a spatula.
  • Use a light, circular motion to combine without deflating the airy cream.
  • Pro tip: Folding slowly preserves the mousse’s light, fluffy texture.

Step 5: Chill and Set

  • Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to set and develop a creamy consistency.
  • Pro tip: For an extra touch, chill overnight. The flavors deepen and the texture becomes even more luxurious.
