Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
Instructions
- Place the chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds, then stir. Let it sit for 5 minutes to melt fully, then stir until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, whip the remaining cream with a hand mixer or whisk until medium peaks form, where the tips slightly curl.
- If you like, set aside 1 tablespoon of whipped cream for topping. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate, then fold in the rest.
- Spoon the mousse into a small ramekin or dessert bowl. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. Longer chilling will create a firmer mousse.
Notes
- Melt Chocolate Gently: Melt the chocolate slowly to prevent burning, and let it cool slightly before mixing with the cream to avoid curdling.
- Whip to Medium Peaks: Beat the cream until peaks gently bend at the tip. An electric mixer works best, but a whisk is fine too.
- Fold Carefully: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate to keep the mousse light and airy.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour for the best texture.
- Garnish Ideas: Top with shaved chocolate, homemade whipped cream, or chopped nuts.
