I know that people don’t always have an abundance of ingredients or recently they are facing monetary issues because of inflation. So I have been listening to my viewers and also looking at blogs online and I wanted to come up with an indulgent dessert that doesn’t require too many ingredients. And this chocolate mousse is perfect!
This recipe doesn't use any eggs or gelatine so it's not a technical recipe. It is so easy to put together, it's a great recipe for beginners or even if you are low on time.
Preparation Time 15 minutes
Chill Time 2- 3 hours
Serves 4
1 and 1/2 cup heavy cream- divided- cold
1 cup/ 150 grams good quality chocolate - chopped
Garnish
Chocolate curls
Place the chocolate and 1/2 cup heavy cream in a bowl.
Heat it in the microwave at 30 second bursts until smooth and the chocolate melts. Set it aside to cool.
In the meantime, beat the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Remove 1/2 cup whipped cream from the bowl and set it aside for topping later.
Beat the rest of the cream until stiff peaks form.
Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate in 3 additions.
Portion the mousse into 4 bowls.
Top with the whipped cream
Chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours until set.
Top with the chocolate curls just before serving
