Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g dark chocolate chopped
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar optional
  • Optional toppings: cocoa powder chocolate shavings, fresh berries

Method
 

  1. Melt the chocolate in a microwave or double boiler, stirring until smooth.
  2. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  3. Add a spoonful of whipped cream to the melted chocolate and mix gently.
  4. Fold in the remaining whipped cream carefully until fully combined.
  5. Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours until set.
  7. Add toppings if desired and serve.

Notes

  • Let the chocolate cool slightly before mixing with cream to prevent curdling.
  • Fold gently to keep the mousse light and fluffy.
  • Can substitute coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
  • Best served chilled; mousse sets better after a few hours.
  • Sweetness can be adjusted by adding more powdered sugar if needed.
