Here’s a super simple 2-ingredient chocolate mousse you can make in minutes—rich, creamy, and decadent without complicated steps.
🍫 Ingredients
- Heavy cream – 1 cup (chilled)
- Chocolate – 100 g (semi-sweet or dark, melted)
Optional: a pinch of salt or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
🥄 Instructions
- Whip the cream
- Pour the chilled heavy cream into a bowl and whip with a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form.
- Melt the chocolate
- Gently melt chocolate in a microwave (20–30 sec bursts) or over a double boiler. Let it cool slightly—it should still be pourable.
- Fold chocolate into cream
- Add the melted chocolate gradually into the whipped cream.
- Gently fold with a spatula until fully combined—don’t overmix or it will deflate.
- Chill
- Spoon into serving dishes and refrigerate for 1–2 hours to set.
- Serve & enjoy
- Optional toppings: berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
💡 Tips for Success
- Make sure the chocolate is not too hot, or it will melt the whipped cream.
- Use a good-quality chocolate—it’s the star ingredient!
- Can be made dairy-free by using coconut cream and dark chocolate.
If you want, I can give a 3-minute microwave hack version of chocolate mousse that requires no whipping at all and still tastes incredible.
Do you want me to do that?
